Resolution Regarding Migratory
Hird Creaty

At the Annual Meeting of the Zoological Society,
held on January 8, 1918, the following resolution was
adopted :

Whereas, 'The Congress of the United States invited the Gov-
ernment of the Dominion of Canada to enter into an international
treaty for the protection of North American migratory birds from
the destruction which rapidly has been exterminating many valuable

species, and

Whereas, The Government of Canada, despite the distractions
of her participation in a great war, promptly accepted the proposal
of our Congress and diligently and forcefully carried it into com-

plete effect; now therefore be it

Resotvep, That the New York Zoological Society hereby respect-
fully directs the attention of the President of the United States
and the House of Representatives to the disquieting fact that the
American enabling act to provide regulations for the enforcement
by the United States of the aforesaid treaty has not yet passed the
lower house of Congress, and that immediate action is mecessary in
order to keep faith with Canada, to avoid affronting a friendly
nation, and at the same time to place our migratory birds on the
basis of protection that long has been desired for them by the
people of the United States.

REPORT OF

THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

TO THE BOARD OF MANAGERS.

HE Executive Committee respectfully submit the following
report to the Board of Managers for the year 1917:

The Committee regret to announce the death of one of
the original members of the Board, Col. William Conant Church,
who passed away on May 23, 1917. Col. Church was one of the
founders of the Society, and was devoted to its interests.

The Committee also report with regret the death of Mr.
Grant Barney Schley, on November 22, 1917. Mr. Schley took
great interest in the work of the Society, and was liberal in his
donations to it.

Resolutions passed on their deaths appear at the end of this
report.

Mr. William Woodward was elected to the Board of Man-
agers at the Annual Meeting of the Society on January 9, 1917,
to fill the vacancy in the Class of 1920, caused by the death of the
late H. Casimir deRham.

Mr. Frederic C. Walcott was elected to the Board of Man-
agers at the Annual Meeting of the Board on January 16, 1917,
to fill the vacancy in the Class of 1919, caused by the resigna-
tion of Mr. F. Augustus Schermerhorn.

MEMBERS.

Notwithstanding the unsettled conditions during the past
year, 217 new members have been secured: 197 Annual Mem-
bers, 18 Life Members, 1 Patron and 1 Fellow. Resignations and

ATTENDANCE.

The increase in the attendance of both institutions and espe-
cially that of the Zoological Park has been satisfactory. The
Aquarium continues to suffer from the conditions in Battery
Park created by the war, and more particularly by reason of
the construction of the subway which has greatly impeded access
to that institution. The attendance at the Park and Aquarium
for 1917, as compared with 1916, has been as follows:

On the whole the health of the collections at the Park has
been excellent. There have been, however, a number of deaths
due to old age, but losses from this cause must be expected.

COLLECTIONS AT THE AQUARIUM.

A census of the exhibits at the Aquarium taken January 1,
1918, shows the following results:

January 1) 1917 January 1, 1918

Species Specimens Species Specimens
Pishésess- eee. 149 4,196 137 4,611

Invertebrates .... 21 1,306 18 1255
Mammals: .2225 2 2 2 2
Sg 5,992 186 6,049

Compared with January 1, 1917, this census shows an in-
crease of fifty-seven specimens, and a decrease of thirteen spe-
cies. The two mammals in the Aquarium are a sea-lion and a
manatee. The sea-lion has lived in the Aquarium ten years and
the manatee a year and a half.

It is a great satisfaction to be able to report a still further
improvement in the welfare of the living collections of the Aqua-
rium. The installation of a new salt-water supply in 1908 im-
proved the conditions for keeping marine forms of life to a re-
markable degree. The enlargement of some of the tanks in 1916
has also contributed to this result.

Fresh-water fishes were collected as usual by the Aquarium
employees from local waters, and exchanges were made with the
State fishery boards of New York and New Jersey. Local mar-
ine species were also collected by the Aquarium force.

Three collections of tropical fishes were made in Florida
during the summer, two of them being in cooperation with the
Detroit and Philadelphia Aquariums. This arrangement proved
to be economical and advantageous, although the number of spec-
imens brought to the New York Aquarium was somewhat less
than usual. All of the work of collecting and transporting was
done by the New York Aquarium force, the other institutions
contributing to the general cost of the trip.

TWENTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT 43

During the year, 2,587 specimens were purchased by the Zoo-
logical Society, and 166 were presented. In addition to these,
two millions of fish eggs were received from the U. S. Bureau
of Fisheries, which were hatched in the Aquarium and later dis-
tributed in public waters.

ALTERATIONS TO AQUARIUM.

It is proposed to apply to the City for $100,000 for the
alteration of the present Aquarium Building so as to remove
the boilers from the present quarters which are monthly flooded
by the full-moon tides dangerously close to the actual fires. The
existing conditions compel our men to work in most unsanitary
surroundings and at a great disadvantage, in addition to loss of
heat and power in the pumps and engines. If these boilers were
removed to the cellar under the front of the building, the space
now occupied by the machinery could be devoted to additional
exhibits. A third story on the front of the building is also need-
ed to provide additional space for administration and for re-
search work in connection with the scientific utilization of the
mass of material now available.

COAL SHORTAGE AT AQUARIUM.

The Aquarium during the winter of 1917-1918 has been
several times seriously imperilled by the coal shortage. We are
at present without bunker facilities for the storage of a reserve
supply of coal, and we are dependent on the deliveries at least
every two days. While we hope to be able to maintain the Aqua-
rium during the winter, this condition has become intolerable.
As soon as the City’s financial condition permits, every effort
will be made to secure the appropriation needed for the altera-
tion of this institution.

Park.—The sum of $199,560 was provided by the City for
the maintenance of the Zoological Park for the year 1917, and
by dint of the strictest economy, the year closed without a deficit
in this fund. The food supply of the animals was supplemented
by farming on Park land by volunteer labor from our employees
and the Executive Committee wish to take this opportunity to
express its appreciation of the willingness and patriotism of its
Park staff.

44 NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY

The sum of $207,586 has been provided for the maintenance
of the Park by the City for the year 1918. This includes an
amount sufficient to enable the Society to meet the increased sal-
aries of our low-paid employees, which last year were provided
by a special subscription of the Board of Managers.

Aquarium.—The sum of $47,000 was provided by the City
for the maintenance of the Aquarium during 1917. Your Com-
mittee had great difficulty in maintaining the Aquarium with
this amount, and it was only with much self-devotion on the part
of the Aquarium staff that this result was accomplished and the
year closed without a deficit. The sum of $48,632.50 has been
provided by the City for the maintenance of the Aquarium for
the year 1918 and for the increased salaries of the low-paid
employees.

The total cost to the City for the upkeep of these two insti-
tutions for the year 1917 amounted to a trifle less than seven
cents for each visitor.

FINANCES.

The Society continues to suffer from an exceedingly small
Endowment Fund and it has been a great disappointment to your
Committee that this fund has not received the benefit of large
bequests in the same proportions as have its sister institutions
in this city. With an Endowment Fund of only $369,331.96, the
income is pitifully small for the amount of work which must be
performed. The Society could be of vast usefulness in various
fields of zoological and conservation activities if only there were
a sufficient sum of money available for that purpose. The Ex-
ecutive Committee desires to point out to the members of the
Board of Managers the disabilities under which the Society
labors from a lack of an unrestricted income from at least
$1,000,000, which could be utilized for the maintenance and ex-
pansion of the Society.

The balances to the credit of the several funds in the
Farmers’ Loan & Trust Company as of December 31, 1917, are
as follows:

The Executive Committee desire to express its appreciation
of the satisfactory manner in which the Assistant Treasurer,
The Farmers’ Loan & Trust Company, and the Bursar, Mr. R. L.
Cerero, have performed their duties.

INCOME ACCOUNT.

As usual the general income of the Society, which includes
the income from the Endowment Fund, was insufficient to meet
the current expenses of 1917, although these were reduced to
the lowest possible point consistent with the actual work of the
Society ; and we were obliged again to use a portion of the cash
balance on hand at the beginning of the year. This account con-
tinues to suffer from its obligation to contribute annually to the
Carnegie Pension Fund. This year the amount due was $3,665.
The Committee are only too glad to provide in this way for the
safety of their employees, but the drain on their resources is
nevertheless very great. This account is the one which occa-
sions the most anxiety to your Committee, and nothing short of
a considerable increase in membership, or in the Endowment
Fund, will be of substantial assistance to this fund.

As a result of these burdens on the Society’s resources the
balance on hand at the close of the year was only $10,954.74, a
sum even smaller than the balance of the previous year.

ANIMAL FUND.

During the year the Board of Managers subscribed $9,000
towards the purchase of animals, and $1,780 were received from
the other members of the Society in response to an appeal sent
to them. It was necessary, however, to transfer $10,000 from
the Privilege Department and $7,118.90 from the gate receipts

to meet the requirements of this fund during the year.

The subscribers to this fund during 1917 were:

Thanks to this assistance, the Society was able to maintain
its collections at full strength. There was a balance on hand of
$16,463.03 on December 31, 1917.

ENDOW MENT FUND.

During the year Mr. Frank W. Kitching subscribed $10,-
329.16 to this fund. The balance of the legacy due under the

48 NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY

will of the late Mrs. Morris K. Jesup was also received viz.—
$2,500, thus completing the full amount of this bequest of
$25,000. In addition one Patron fee of $1,000 and $3,740 in Life
Membership fees were added to this fund, making a total of
$17,569.16 received during the year.

The cash invested during the year was as follows:
$9,000 Lehigh Valley Terminal 5% Bonds... $9,090.00
$3,000 Central Railroad of New Jersey 5% Bonds........... 3,031.25

The Endowment Fund now amounts to $369,331.96. This
fund is invested in securities yielding a net income at the aver-
age rate of 4.25 per cent per annum.

On December 31, 1917, there was an uninvested balance of
$2,740.71 on hand.

STOKES BIRD FUND.

The income from this fund, which consists of $5,000 be-
queathed to the Society by the late Miss Caroline Phelps Stokes,
is devoted to the protection of bird life throughout the country.

On January 1, 1917, there was a balance on hand of $58.54,
and during the year income was received in the amount of $200.
There were no expenditures during the year. The cash balance
on hand December 31, 1917, was $258.54,

CADWALADER ANIMAL FUND.

This fund consists of the income from the fund of $20,000
bequeathed to the Society by the late John L. Cadwalader, which
is available only for the purchase of animals for the Park. On
January 1, 1917, there was a cash balance of $500. The income
during the year amounted to $1,000, and there were no expendi-
tures. This fund closes the year with a cash balance of $1,500.

ART GALLERY FUND.

A new and important canvas by Carl Rungius has been
completed, and is on exhibition in the Administration Building

TWENTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT AQ

at the Zoological Park. It is entitled ‘In the Days of the Bison
Millions,” and depicts a herd of perhaps 250,000 bison quietly
feeding on a rolling prairie covered with buffalo grass and sage
brush in northwestern Wyoming with the Wind River Moun-
tains in the background. The scene depicted would date back
something over half a century.

Another new painting depicts the rapidly disappearing Cali-
fornia condor, the largest North American bird of prey. The
picture is by R. Bruce Horsfall, and shows a gorge in the Sierras
painted from studies made on the spot. The bird is life-size,
and the canvas measures sixty by seventy-five inches.

A number of paintings showing the color changes in trop-
ical fishes at the Aquarium have been prepared for publication
by the Zoological Society. Mr. H. B. Tschudy has illustrated
five species, each exhibiting three to eight color phases. Mr. H.
Murayama has illustrated eight species, with three to four color
phases of each. Mr. Richard Deckert has illustrated two spe-
cies, with three color phases of each. Mr. L. L. Mowbray has
illustrated one species showing four phases of color.

During the year subscriptions to the Art Gallery Fund were
received in the amount of $3,750, which with the cash balance
on hand January 1, 1917, of $6,764.92, made a total of $10,514.92
available for expenditure. The expenditures during the year
amounted to $2,511.71, leaving a cash balance on hand Decem-
ber 31, 1917, of $8,003.21.

Subscriptions of $250 for 1917 to the Art Gallery Fund have
been received from each of the following managers and friends:

Edward S. Harkness, Cleveland H. Dodge, Mortimer L.
Schiff, Ogden Mills, Frederick G. Bourne, George F. Baker, Lis-
penard Stewart, Percy R. Pyne, Grant B. Schley, Charles F. Die-
terich, Andrew Carnegie, Watson B.. Dickerman, George J.
Gould, Frank K. Sturgis and Joseph McAleenan.

TROPICAL RESEARCH FUND.

During the year $5,250 were subscribed to this fund by the
following managers:

amounted to $3,801.94, leaving a balance of $1,465.63 on hand on
December 31, 1917.

In view of the war conditions, it was decided not to send the
expedition this year to South America. Mr. Beebe with one as-
sistant, however, made a trip to British Guiana and brought back
the property of the Society which had been left there.

NATIONAL COLLECTION OF HEADS AND HORNS.

The only source of income for this fund are transfers made
from the general Income Account of the Society, and private sub-
scriptions. There were, however, no transfers made during the
year, and only one subscription of $15 was received, from Mr.
John J. Paul. This subscription, together with the balance on
hand January 1, 1917, of $78.89, made a total of but $93.89 avail-
able for expenditure. The expenditures amounted to $18.12,
leaving a balance of $75.77 on hand December 31, 1917.

The only acquisitions to the collection during the year were
an Okapi head presented by the American Museum of Natural
History, and a Black-faced Caribou presented by Dr. and Mrs. F.
S. Gould, of Santa Barbara, California.

WILD LIFE PROTECTION FUND.

The expenditures against this fund during the year amount-
ed to $86.59. The balance on hand January 1, 1917, was $729.-
30, and receipts in the amount of $226.30 have been received
from the sale cf “Our Vanishing Wild Life.’”’ This fund closes
the year with a cash balance of $869.01, due to the fact that the
Society’s work in this field now is financed by the Permanent
Wild Life Protection Fund.

TWENTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT 51

PUBLICATION FUND.

The amount on hand January 1, 1917, was $6,000, and the
only receipts were from the sale of ‘Tropical Wild Life,” by
Beebe, Hartley and Howes, in the amount of $297. The balance
on hand on December 31, 1917, was $1,075.40.

HEADS AND HORNS MUSEUM.

Mr. Henry D. Whitfield was appointed architect for the pro-
posed Heads and Horns Museum, and after prolonged studies,
preliminary plans for the building were adopted by the Com-
mittee. Upon the proclamation of war, however, it was decided
to postpone the construction of this building. A call was then
issued for the subscriptions, and most of them have been re-
ceived. They were immediately invested in Liberty Bonds. The
principal and accumulated income from this fund will be used for
the construction of the Museum as soon as building conditions be-
come normal.

Cash balance on hand December 31, 1917, was $13,983.62.

NEW PHEASANT AVIARY.

Col. Anthony R. Kuser presented to the Society, the steel
work of a large pheasant aviary, in five sections. Two sections
have been erected together, making a cage thirty by forty feet,
for use as a flying cage for pheasants. This installation will be
located immediately north of the existing Pheasant Aviary, and
will contain a large collection of male golden and silver pheasants,
so that the contrast between the plumage of these two species may
be displayed to best advantage. The three remaining sections,
thirty by sixty feet, will be erected on the space north of the Wild
Fowl Pond, and will be devoted to an assemblage of breeding
egrets and spoonbills. Two subscriptions of $200 have been re-
ceived from Col. Anthony R. Kuser and Mr. Percy R. Pyne for
this purpose, and $600 additional will be needed.

The balance in the Pheasant Aviary Fund on hand Decem-
ber 31, 1917, was $141.33.

NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY

LIBRARY.

The Library Fund is supported by transfers from the gen-
eral Income Account of the Society. During the year, one such
transfer was made, of $500, which with the balance of $295.29
on hand, January 1, 1917, made a total of $795.29 available for
expenditure. Books. periodicals, pamphlets, etc., have been pur-
chased to the extent of $357.49, and the account shows a balance
of $437.80 on December 31, 1917.

CARNEGIE PENSION FUND.

The fund of $100,000 received from Mr. Andrew Carnegie,
produced $4,335 during the year, and as the total annual contribu-
tion of the Society to the drawing account was $8,000, the Socie-
ty was obliged to make up out of its general Income Account, the
deficit of $38,665. An additional sum of $150,000 is required to
provide adequate relief for widows, for the permanence of the
present pension plan, and to relieve the Society of this drain on
its slender resources. During the year, the employees paid to the
Pension Fund Income Account, $3,046.30. On December 31,
1917, there was a balance on hand in the drawing account of
$37,625.71, of which $34,213.75 have been invested in quickly
convertible securities, and $3,411.96 remains on deposit.

PHEASANT MONOGRAPH.

The delay in the completion of the Pheasant Monograph is
due to war conditions, but the first volume is to be printed and
made available during the current year.

WAR SERVICE.

During the year the following employees at the Park and
Aquarium have joined the colors:

Dr. W. Reid Blair, Veterinarian, Major, Veterinary Corps,
U.S.A.

Cyril Newman, Stock Accountant, 1st Class Yeoman, U.S.N.

Howard Engeholm, Keeper, Private, U.S.A.

Edward Reuter, Keeper, Private, U.S.A.

Robert Sutcliffe, Clerk, Cadet, Non-flying section Aviation
Corps, U.S.A.

John Shea, Office Assistant, Private, Quartermaster Corps,
eseA.

Frank Doyle, Private, U.S.A.

The Society has agreed to make up out of its own funds, the
difference in pay received from the Government and that former-
ly paid by the Society.

The Zoological Park Guards, composed of employees at the
Park, were organized at the Zoological Park, uniformed and were
armed with rifles at the expense of the Society. These guards
are part of the police force of this city, and can be relied on to
assist in the maintainance of order.

During the year a Red Cross Working Base was established
in the Lion House, and turned out a large amount of woolen
clothing for the army, with special reference to hospital uses.

Two flag poles have been erected in the Zoological Park,
one near the Rocking Stone Restaurant, and the ‘other on Baird
Court.

EAST SIDE EXTENSION.

During the year a law, known as the Mills Bill, authorizing
the Board of Estimate and Apportionment to turn over to the
Zoological Society lands lying to the east of the Park was enacted
by the Legislature and is known as Chapter 455 of the Laws of
1917.

A full text of this law is printed at the end of this volume.

ANIMAL HOSPITAL.

The Society had a large correspondence with the City during
the year over the payment of the architect’s fee for the Animal
Hospital. This matter wes finally settled, however, on a basis
satisfactory to all parties, by the return from the City of $790.-
94 advanced by the Society to the architect.

54 NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY

CONSERVATION.

During the year, the Society took part in the preservation
of the Redwoods of California, and at a meeting of the Execu-
tive Committee held on October 11, 1917, the following reso-
lution was passed and forwarded to the proper authorities in
California:

Resolved, That the New York Zoological Society cordially endorses the
proposed California State Reserve of the great grove of Redwoods known as
the Bull Creek Flat grove on Elk River, California, and urges the Governor
of California to secure proper legislation or executive action to provide for the
permanent protection of these magnificent trees.

There is reason to believe that this splendid stand of Red-
woods will be ultimately set aside as a state reserve.

RATTLESNAKE SERUM.

Two hundred and fifty tubes of rattlesnake serum have been
received from the Government of Brazil for the use of the United
States Army. The Society has reciprocated by sending to Brazil
a large collection of live rattlesnakes from Texas.

ELEPHANT HOUSE DOOR.

The African elephant, Khartoum, has increased rapidly in
size and is beginning to show the vicious character of an adult
male elephant. In order to provide against future contingencies
a sliding door has been constructed in the Elephant House so
that Khartoum can be transferred from one stall to another with-
out danger. Under the authorization of the Board of Estimate
and Apportionment, $1,400 was transferred from the unex-
pended balance originally appropriated for the Hospital Build-
ing, and was used for this purpose.

ELEPHANT HOUSE ROOF, NESBIT SUIT.

During the month of February, 1917, the corporation Coun-
sel notified the Society that the City had collected $2,250 from
the Peoples Surety Company, surety for Nesbit and Company,
contractors, for defective work on the roof of the Elephant
House, making a total of $4,500 collected from Nesbit and Com-
pany and their surety.

TWENTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT

PARK IMPROVEMENT AND REPAIRS.

During the year, in addition to some smaller items, the entire
exterior and interior cages of the Small-Mammal House have
been reconstructed, from funds derived from gate receipts.

MEDICAL DEPARTMENT.

The Medical Department, under Dr. George S. Huntington,
has continued to utilize the soft parts of such animals as have
died during the year, while the skeletons and skins when in good
condition have been sent to the American Museum of Natural
History where they are utilized for exhibition purposes.

FEDERAL TAXATION OF BEQUESTS.

The Society joined with other institutions during the year
in an effort to secure exemption from the federal tax on all be-
quests to scientifie institutions. While successful in obtaining a
substantial modification of the Income Tax provision on gifts
from income, they were unable to secure exemption from the
Federal Inheritance Tax. This tax on bequests for scientific
work is regarded by your Committee as a very serious blow to
educational institutions and it is hoped that the severe require-
ments of the present law will be modified in the near future.

WILD LIFE PROTECTION.

During the first half of 1917, great efforts were made to
secure a number of new laws for the more thorough protection
of game, and also to prevent valuable laws from being repealed.
The renewed effort in the New York legislature, by Mr. Kasson,
to repeal the famous “buck law” preventing the killing of female
deer was defeated.

The Migratory Bird treaty with Canada was ratified and
signed by the two signatory powers, and a bill providing for its
enforcement was at once introduced in Congress. Through the
pressure of war measures, this bill and the Chamberlain game
sanctuary bill were both laid aside until the end of 1917.

A great effort was made in eighteen state legislatures in the
West to secure laws providing long close seasons for upland

56 NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY

game birds, especially grouse and quail and to secure better pro-
tection for mountain sheep and deer. Many valuable results
were secured in the form of new laws.

RECEPTIONS.

Reception at Aquarium.—The Annual Reception to mem-
bers was held at the Aquarium on Monday evening, April 30,
1917, and was a great success. An attendance of about 400 was
noted. Members of the Board of Managers and their wives acted
as a Reception Committee.

At the Zoological Park, Ladies’ Day and Members’ Day
were consolidated and the joint meeting was held on Thursday,
May 17, 1917.

Annual Dinner.—The Eighth Annual Dinner of the Board
of Managers was held through the courtesy of Mr. C. Ledyard
Blair, at his residence, 2 East 70th Street, New York City, on
Thursday, February 1, 1917. Short addresses were made by
Prof. Henry Fairfield Osborn and Mr. Madison Grant. Mr. Ray-
mond L. Ditmars, Curator of Reptiles at the Zoological Park,
gave an extremely interesting exhibition of moving pictures
taken at the Zoological Park and in South Carolina.

Spring Meeting.—The Spring Meeting of the Board of Man-
agers was held in the Administration Building of the Zoological
Park on Thursday, May 17, 1917, at 2:30 o’clock P. M. A lunch-
eon in the Rocking Stone Restaurant at the Park was served at
1:30 o’clock.

BRONX PARKWAY COMMISSION.

The Bronx Parkway Commission has made rapid progress
during the year with improvements and has straightened and
cleaned the river bed so as to drain swamp lands preparatory
to the construction of the driveway through this parkway. This
work and grading and planting operations were carried on at
three points: White Plains, Scarsdale, and immediately adjoin-
ing the Botanical Gardens. The work of raising the grade of
Gun Hill Road by the City and the building of two bridges at

58 NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY

this point will delay the completion of the lower end of the Park-
way. The Commission has announced its policy of suspending
construction during the war, but this great driveway is now an
assured fact, and the water supply of the Zoological Park will
be protected from pollution.

AUDITING.

Upon the authorization of your Committee, the auditors,
Messrs. Marwick, Mitchell, Peat & Company, made another ex-
amination of the system of receiving supplies at the Park dur-
ing 1917 and reported thereon with certain recommendations
which have been adopted.

They are at present making the usual audit of the finances
of the Society for the year, which is being greatly facilitated by
the new system of checking the accounts quarterly. Their re-
port, as well as that of the Auditing Committee, will immedi-
ately follow the report of the Treasurer.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS.

The relations with all departments and officials of the City’s
government, and especially with the Park Department, have
continued to be most cordial and your Committee are greatly
indebted to these officials, as well as the members of the Board
of Estimate and Apportionment, for their support and co-opera-
tion during the past year.

The Directors of the Park and Aquarium and their respec-
tive staffs, have been most zealous and energetic in the perform-
ance of their duties and the Society enters upon this new year
with the assurance of an ever increasing sphere of activity and
usefulness.

This picture was included to show the tremendous muscular development of the arms, and the
powerful hand. Her weight is about 185 pounds. As the animal was used

REPORT OF THE
DIRECTOR OF THE ZOOLOGICAL PARK

TO THE BOARD OF MANAGERS.

Om all the institutions for objective education, none are more

sensitive to the vicissitudes of war than zoological parks.
The permanence of museum and art exhibits are at once the envy
and the despair of vivarium zoologists. The perpetual recur-
rence, in inexorable succession, of arrival, death and departure,
renders life in a collection of living things a constant struggle
for equilibrium.

As a mechanical cut-off in the annual supply of live animals,
a great war possesses boundless possibilities for mischief. At
this moment the procuring of a giraffe from Africa would be
almost as difficult as the obtaining of a live mammoth trom
Alaska; for both are equally impossible. By impossibilities in
transportation, the entire supply of African antelopes now is
cut off, as completely as if Africa had sunk to the depths of the
sea. At the same time, the world’s stock of antelopes is dimin-
ishing by death.

Strange to say, however, the annual West African output
of chimpanzees continues to arrive, both in London and in New
York; and occasionally a baby orang survives the voyage from
Singapore.

During the past vear (1917), the bird collections of the Zoo-
logical Park have been kept quite up to high-water mark, for
which the Assistant Curator of Birds, Mr. L. S. Crandall, is de-
serving of great credit. His diligence in exploiting the live-bird
market, far and near, is alone responsible for our high figures
both in species (818) and in specimens (2,799).

In the mammal collections no falling off worthy of mention
has occurred; and in one direction a great success has been
scored. We have brought together a collection of kangaroos that
is so large and so rich in species that it appears to have only

62 NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY

one rival, which is to be found in the celebrated Zoological Gar-
den at Melbourne, Australia, under the direction of the distin-
guished naturalist, Mr. W. H. D. LeSouef. That kangaroo col-
lection is, according to all records, a zoological equivalent of
our own.

The reptile collection has suffered somewhat in unreplacable
losses of all world species; but at the same time it has gained in
species from South America and Australasia. Fortunately our
rarest species still are with us, and our giant tortoises seem to
be indifferent to the flight of time.

During the early summer of 1917, in order to make a test
of the rationing system of the large mammals, the Director or-
dered a horizontal reduction in the daily rations of the elephants,
rhinoceroses, bears, lions, tigers and leopards. This reduction
varied from 10 to 30 per cent, and it was hoped that the result
might lead to a considerable permanent saving.

The result was a complete failure. All the animals affected
by it so quickly lost flesh and went out of condition that after
four months the experiment had to be abandoned. The bears
suffered most severely. They became emaciated, their coats be-
came dull and lustreless, and they were in a constant state of
irritability from unsatisfied hunger.

We found that our rationing could not be appreciably re-
duced; and it required three months to bring our animals back
to their normal good condition.

EUROPEAN ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.

It is a satisfaction to be able to state that in Great Britain,
France, Holland, Denmark and Spain, the zoological gardens
have been firmly held together, and thus far have survived the
strain of war remarkably well. Marvellous to relate, the Ant-
werp Garden still is a “going concern,” but its scanty mainte-
nance is derived from its amusement features rather than from
the exhibtion of animals. Regarding the gardens of Germany
and Austria there is no news; but in view of the awful scarcity
of meat and forage, their condition easily can be imagined.

At the close of the war it will be the bounden duty of all
American zoological parks to do their utmost toward the re-
stocking of the institutions of Belgium, France and England,

TWENTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT 63

and American zoologists will do well to be thinking now of that
task. Already the New York Zoological Society has taken defi-
nite steps looking toward the rehabilitation of the collections of
the Antwerp Gardens, just as soon as the Germans have evacu-
ated Belgium.

ATTENDANCE OF VISITORS.

Quite contrary to our expectations, the attendance last year
of visitors at the Zoological Park increased instead of diminished.
The total for the year 1917 was 1,898,424, a gain over 1916 of
241,604. The total attendance at the Park for the eighteen years
from 1900 to 1918 was 24,934,499. The monthly figures for
1917 were as follows:

WAR ACTIVITIES AT THE PARK.

In several ways the Park force has been drawn into activi-
ties connected with or contributing to the war.

Military Company of the Zoological Park.—Immediately
after the declaration of war, it was decided to form in the Zoo-
logical Park a military company, incidentally for the defense of
the Zoological Park against possible riots, but chiefly as a contri-
bution to the defense of the city of New York and its vicinity.
In accordance with this purpose, 48 picked men of the Zoological
Park forces were organized as Company A of the Zoological Park

64 NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY

Guards, with the following officers: R. L. Ditmars, Captain;
W. Reid Blair, Ist Lieutenant; W. I. Mitchell, 2d Lieutenant;
Charles B. Gleason, Ist Sergeant; Charles E. Snyder, Quarter-
master Sergeant; John Rose, 2d Sergeant; Stephen Beebe, Color
Sergeant.

The Company was immediately uniformed, equipped, and
armed with Springfield carbines, at the expense of the Zoological
Society ; and even at this date it is the only company of the Home
Defense League of New York City which is armed with rifles.
The drilling of the Company was promptly taken in hand by
Capt. John levers, of the 68th precinct of the New York Police
Department, and by him, and with the assistance of members
of his staff, the Company was drilled to a high state of efficiency.

The Company made its first appearance in public on Mem-
bers’ Day, at which time it was presented by the Executive Com-
mittee of the Society with a national flag.

Through the enterprise and energy of Captain Ditmars, ably
assisted by Mr. I. Richker, of Yonkers, the Zoological Society
acquired vested rights in the rifle range of the Yonkers Rifle
Club, situated within convenient distance of the Zoological Park.
Throughout the summer the members of Company A were taken,
on two days of each week, to the rifle range for rifle practice at
ranges of 100 and 200 yards. Excellent results were secured, and
the men of the Company were made thoroughly familiar with
their weapons. The marksmanship finally attained by the mem-
bers of the Company was highly gratifying.

At the approach of winter, the Zoological Park Company
was supplied by the city with heavy winter overcoats, and there-
by still further became officially recognized as a part of the police
reserve force created for the more thorough protection of New
York during the war.

Naturally, the presence of this force of armed men in the
Zoological Park, subject to the call of the Captain of the 68th
Precinct, is a satisfaction both to the Police Department and to
the Zoological Society.

Since the formation of the Company, several of its members
have taken their places in the regular army of the United States,
leaving vacancies which must be filled at an early date. A com-
plete roster of the Company, as originally enrolled, is as follows;

Red Cross Working Base.—The first step was the develop-
ment of a Red Cross working base, in the Lion House, under the
direction of the American Red Cross Service. A platform 90
feet long and 12 feet wide was erected over a portion of the pub-
lic space, on which were installed 16 Singer sewing machines
and a series of tables. The labor was all volunteered, by the
women of northern New York City and its environs, and the
work was performed under the direction of Mrs. J. B. Turk, Mrs.
Bernard McEnroe, Mrs. H. Raymond Mitchell and Mrs. H. W.
Merkel. This working force was devoted solely to the making
of garments, chiefly woolen pajamas, jackets, bath robes and
slippers.

of Australia. There is a marked similarity of the flying membrane.

TWENTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT Tc

In addition to the above, thirty-nine large packing cases for
shipping Red Cross materials were made in our shops; the car-
penters volunteering to do the work after hours. The materials
for twenty-four of these were paid for by the Bronx Chapter
of the Red Cross and the remainder from the Zoological Park
Defense Fund.

’ Flag Raising—On March 31 a flag-raising ceremony took
place at the north end of Baird Court. The occasion was utilized
as an opportunity to make a trial mobilization of the Boy Scouts
of the Bronx, and on six hours’ notice about 900 Scouts assem-
bled in uniform. A patriotic address was delivered by Hon.
Douglas Mathewson, Borough President, which was followed by
an address from the Director of the Park. The music for the
occasion was kindly furnished by the Catholic Protectory Band,
and the national colors were hoisted on a flag-staff 55 feet high,
situated on the axis of Baird Court, midway between the en-
trances of the Administration Building and the Tropical Bird.
House.

War Crops.—In view of the high and ever-increasing cost of
animal food, every quarter-acre of land in the Zoological Park
that could with propriety be spared for agricultural purposes
was plowed and planted. A large section of the Elk Range, a
Wild Horse Range, a glade in the forest and new grounds at the
Nursery were planted in corn for green fodder, beets, turnips,
potatoes, lettuce, sunflower and carrots, and carefully cultivated.

The results were in the main very satisfactory, but on some
of the ground the crops of the second year will naturally be bet-
ter than those of the first. It is roughly estimated that our farm-
ing operations effected a saving of about $2,500. ©

Notwithstanding the well-nigh complete stoppage of wild
animal importations from Europe and Asia, our Zoological Park
collections have been fully maintained, both in species and in
specimens. The census at the close of the year 1917 shows a loss
of only three species and seven specimens. The losses that oc-
curred by death have been made good by rich collections received
from Australia and South Africa.

72 NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY

The chief event of the year was the receipt of another col-
lection from Australasia, brought by Mr. Ellis S. Joseph, and
even surpassing the collection delivered by him in 1916. On July
16, we received from this source the following: 1 thylacine, 3
hyrax, 2 water mongoose, 1 echidna, 2 rabbit-eared bandicoots,
3 West Australian rat kangaroos, 1 tree kangaroo, 3 yellow-
footed rock wallabies, 3 Woodward kangaroos, 1 wallaroo, 1
brush-tailed wallaby, 2 short-tailed wallabies, 1 Paddy-mellen
wallaby, 2 rufous-necked wallabies, 2 Tasmanian black phalan-
gers, 6 common phalangers, 3 dusky phalangers, 3 gray phalan-
gers, 4 opossum mice, 3 Papuan flying phalangers, 1 Australian
flying phalanger and 3 Australian water rats.

Next in importance to the above was the arrival of Mr. J.
Alden Loring from South Africa on January 3 with a mixed col-
lection of mammals, birds and reptiles for the joint benefit of
the Philadelphia Zoological Gardens, the National Zoological
Park at Washington and our own institution. This initial under-
taking, made solely on account of the war and the stoppage of
our regular wild animal trade between Africa and Europe, was
regarded merely as the first of a continuous series of efforts in
Africa. While the expedition was very hastily set on foot and
dispatched, Mr. Loring worked in Africa with such intelligence
and diligence that in spite of all difficulties he brought together
a collection that very nearly paid the expenses of the effort, fig-
ured on a basis of the regular market prices of wild animals here
in New York.

The wild-animal proceeds of the expedition were equitably
divided between the three institutions which were jointly con-
cerned, and the New York Zoological Society received the fol-
lowing: 1 golden baboon, 4 green monkeys, 1 vervet monkey, 2
meerkats, 2 crested porcupines, 2 brush-tailed wallabies, 1 ring-
tailed wallaby, 1 beisa antelope, 1 nylghai, 1 blessbok, 4 spring-
boks, 1 white-tailed gnu and 2 duiker antelope.

One of the best results of Mr. Loring’s visit to Africa was
the establishing of close relations with the National Zoological
Gardens of South Africa at Pretoria, of which Dr. A. Haagner
is the Director. It is now absolutely certain that the relations
established between us and the National Zoological Gardens of
South Africa will result in great benefit for all four institutions
concerned. Dr. Haagner is now diligently bringing together a
collection of rare animals, to be held at Pretoria at our expense
for maintenance until the close of the war, when it will promptly

TWENTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT 73

be shipped to New York. We entertain the hope that it will be
possible for Mr. Haagner to pay a visit to America in connection
with the transportation of the shipment that is now being col-
lected. If he comes to America we will endeavor to see that he
does not return empty-handed to his zoological park.

The hurried and brief visit of Mr. William Beebe to British
Guiana in September and October yielded for the Zoological Park
a fine young tapir, a spotted cavy, and the beautiful silky ant-
eater fully described and illustrated by Mr. Beebe in the Zoo-
logical Society Bulletin for January, 1918.

Among the miscellaneous purchases of the year the follow-
ing are worthy of mention: 2 Japanese red-faced monkeys, 1
chimpanzee, 1 chaecma baboon, 1 golden baboon, 2 yaguarundi
cats, 2 South American martens, 4 red foxes, 2 ocelots, 1 coyote,
1 South American fox, 1 bay lynx, 5 spotted cavies, 1 tree porcu-
pine, 1 tayra, 1 great ant-eater 2 Lund’s opossums and 3 mule
deer.

The desire of regiments in the American army to possess
and transport to France regimental mascots resulted in a general
prohibition of mascot exportation, and the presentation to the
Zoological Park of a number of specimens. Through this chan-
nel we received, as company or regimental gifts, 4 young black
bears, 2 young cinnamon bears and a young goat that had made
a trial trip of 700 miles in an aeroplane. Among other gifts re-
ceived were 3 macaque monkeys, 1 rhesus monkey, 2 white-faced
sapajous, 1 Canada porcupine, 5 common raccoons, | crab-eating
raccoon, 2 coyotes, 1 coati mundi, 2 red foxes and 1 Mexican deer.
The most noteworthy gift of the year consisted of 2 black-faced
kangaroos and 2 Woodward kangaroos presented by Mr. Ellis
S. Joseph.

DEPARTMENT OF BIRDS.

William Beebe, Curator; Lee S. Crandall, Assistant Curator;
Samuel Stacey, Head Keeper.

Since the beginning of the war, live bird arrivals in this
country from the Old World have been few. In 1917, they were
almost negligible, although a fair number of specimens contin-
ued to reach us from Australia and South America. In spite of
these difficulties, our bird collection remains practically at its
best, but if the present congested condition of sea traffic con-
tinues during 1918, we must expect a diminution to occur.

The impossibility of obtaining certain kinds of food used in
normal times, has forced us to seek numerous substitutes. On

TWENTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT 15

the whole, our efforts have been quite successful, and despite
changes and economies once believed impossible, our collections
never were in better general condition.

Among the year’s accessions, the most important were
those brought by Mr. Ellis S. Joseph, who arrived from Aus-
tralia in July, with a great assortment of birds and mammals.
Among the more striking were two tawny frogmouths, (Podar-
gus strigoides strigoides) ; two Count Raggi’s birds of paradise,
(Paradisea raggiana) ; a white goshawk, (Leucospiza novae-
‘hollandiae) ; two regent birds, (Sericulus chrysocephalus chry-
socephalus) ; a pheasant coucal, (Polophilus phasianus phasian-
us) ; a northern flock pigeon, (Histriophaps histrionica alistera) ;
two purple-crowned fruit pigeons, (Ptilopodiscus coronulatus) ,
and two amethyst pigeons, (Phlogoenas kubaryi), from the Ruk
and Caroline Islands. This certainly was the finest collection of
Australasian birds ever received by us.

The Tropical Research Station contributed a number of de-
sirable birds, including the rare imperial Amazon parrot, (Ama-
zona imperialis), a Guiana hawk-headed parrot, (Deroptyus ac-
cipitrinus accipitrinus), several toucans and numerous small
birds. From a local dealer we obtained an uncommonly fine
specimen of the rare Brazilian hawk-headed parrot, (Deroptyus
accipitrinus fuscifrons), so that we now have representatives of
each form of this attractive bird.

The Loring African Expedition, returning late in January,
brought a number of birds, for division among the zoological
parks of Washington, Philadelphia and New York. To our lot,
among others, fell a pair of the lovely white-crested touracos,
(Turacus corythaix), once fairly common in the market, but now
never seen; a jackal buzzard, (Buteo jackal), a spotted eagle
owl, (Bubo maculosus), and a pair of horned guinea fowl, (Nu-
mida coronata) .

Among the few birds which reached us via England, through
a New York dealer, were four beautiful Indian hill partridges,
(Arboricola torqueola) ; a pair of African yellow-billed ducks,
(Anas undulata), a mallard-like species not previously repre-
sented in our collection, and two wedge-tailed fruit pigeons,
(Sphenocercus sphenurus). We now have five species of these
brilliantly plumaged but delicate birds, as follows: The nutmeg
fruit pigeon (Myrmisticivora bicolor spilorrhoa), from Aus-
tralia; the blue-tailed (Carpophaga concinna), Aru Islands; the

purple-crowned (Lamprctreron superba), Australia; the painted
(Ptilopodiscus coronulatus), Aru Islands and New Guinea, and
the wedge-tailed.

From the same dealer we acquired, in November, a mag-
nificent male lesser bird of paradise, (Paradisea minor), and an
Indian pied hornbill, (Anthracoceros albirostris). These birds
were shipped from India by way of South Africa, and in spite
of their long journey, arrived in excellent condition.

In the same month, through the kindness of Mr. T. A. Have-
meyer, we received a pair each of the semi-palmated goose, (An-
seranus semipalmata) and the European little white-fronted
goose, (Anser erythropus). Both species are rare and interest-
ing, and the gift forms an accession of importance.

Again the season was unfavorable for breeding, although
its results were fairly satisfactory. Our emus brought up three
fine young birds, the family arousing much interest among vis-
itors. For the first time in our history, we succeeded in rearing
a mute swan. Three were hatched on Lake Agassiz and trans-
ferred, not without difficulty, to the Beaver Pond. Unfortu-
nately, the pond was inhabited by several huge snapping turtles,
which destroyed two of the young birds before the presence of
the reptiles was discovered. The bird is now well grown, but
still in the sooty plumage of youth.

Our mourning doves did well, and again we liberated a
number of young birds. We now have several flying at liberty,
which return to the Pheasant Aviary to feed and roost with
the Barbary turtle doves.

Some wood ducks were brought to maturity, as weli as a
pair of hybrid ducks, apparently the offspring of a male white-
eye and a female wood duck. Two Upland geese, (Chloephaga
magellanica) were hatched, and one was well grown, when it
was taken by some nocturnal prowler. There is no record of this
species having been successfully bred in this country.

The concrete bottom placed in the Wild Fowl Pond in 1916
has shown itself well worth the trouble incurred in laying it.
No outbreak of the once annual coccidiosis took place. Late in
the autumn, the water was drawn off and a great quantity of
mud and debris, which ordinarily would have become incorpo-
rated in the pond bottom, was removed.

78 NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY

The collections of the Zoological Society never were richer
in rare and unusual bird species than now. That the vast amcunt
of valuable scientific material which becomes available at the
death of these specimens may be utilized to the fullest, improved
arrangements have been made with the American Museum of
Natural History and the College of Physicians and Surgeons.
The small amount of material not required by these institutions
is sent gratis to others. The work of facilitating the disposal
of these specimens has been assigned to the Assistant Curator
of Birds, and their distribution has been carefully systematized.

DEPARTMENT OF REPTILES.

Raymond L, Ditmars, Curator.

Throughout the year the department was maintained at a
uniformly high standard, but there were various difficulties in
obtaining specimens and keeping the cages properly filled. With
the exception of a moderate number of Australian specimens
received during the summer, no foreign reptiles were obtainable.
The arrival of the Australian reptiles was rather a mishap, as
they spread a parasitic disease among several valuable speci-
mens that had long been in the collection, and these were neces-
sarily destroyed to prevent a general epidemic. Aside from these
casualties there were few losses of importance throughout the

year.

With no market for the purchase of foreign specimens it
was necessary to fill the gaps from losses of the small specimens
with local material. Keeper George Palmer, of the Reptile House
staff, collected a large number of snakes. of various species in
the mountains of Pennsylvania. Local collectors brought in
many specimens, and we made many purchases of snakes, liz-
ards, turtles and amphibians from collectors in the southern
states. A considerable number of small amphibians and lizards
required additional cages, as did the steadily growing economic
rodent-reptile collection, which has attracted much _ interest.
Owing to shortage of labor, the Reptile House keepers built all
the necessary cages in a workshop fitted up by themselves, and
produced excellent results, both in wood and metal construction.

The establishment for breeding small stock used as freshly
killed food, and maintained for a number of vears in a small
room of the Reptile House, was elaborated in design and re-
moved to a much larger room in the Small Mammal House where
much better results will be obtained. The room vacated was

80 NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY

renovated and now serves as moth-proof storage for the winter
equipment of uniforms of the Zoological Park rifle company,
which is officially connected with and subject to the call of the
New York Police Department, in case of grave emergencies.

Owing to the serious shortage of coal, the Reptile House is
being maintained at a lower winter temperature than ever be-
fore. The collection is being very closely watched, and while
there is a tendency of specimens to feed very sparingly we do
not anticipate serious losses. The cost of feeding the reptiles
always has been extremely low as compared with the other ani-
mal buildings, but we have sought to economize, by all practic-
able methods, even using waste from other buildings, such as
banana skins and meat fragments.

Early in 1917, the Department of Reptiles received a ship-
ment of tubes of anti-venomous serum for the treatment of snake
bite. This serum was produced specifically for the treatment of
bites of rattlesnakes, and its effect is much more efficacious than
serums produced by immunization from mixed venoms and used
for the bites of various types of poisonous snakes.

The shipment of serum was received through the courtesy
of Dr. Vital Brazil, Director of the Institute of Serum Therapy,
at Butantan, Sao Paulo, Brazil. Dr. Brazil’s scientific achieve-
ments in the treatment of snake-bite in his native country are
now world renowned.

Fifty tubes of the serum (anti-crotalico) were sent imme-
diately to Col. H. Fisher, of the Medical Corps, U. S. Army, at
Washington, D. C. Col. Fisher distributed these tubes among
army units stationed in the South. These tubes were a gift to
the government by the New York Zoological Society.

It was our understanding with Dr. Brazil that in exchange
for the serum we were to send him a consignment of poisonous
snakes, from which he could extract venom for the immuniza-
tion of additional animals. We obtained a large consignment of
big rattlesnakes from Texas, and these reptiles were placed in
strong shipping crates and shipped by the Lloyd-Brazilian Line
during the early summer.

We are maintaining a reserve supply of serum at the Park
and occasionally have calls for it. Two cases of snake-bite were
successfully treated in the city during the past summer from
serum obtained from our stock.

TWENTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT 81

It should be understood that this serum is not for sale, but
that a charge of two and a half dollars is made for the use of
each tube and the funds obtained will be used to purchase rep-
tiles for Dr. Brazil’s institution.

The budget application for the maintenance of the Park for
1918 included an addition of $8,026 to provide for an increase
of ten per cent. in the salaries of all employees drawing less than
$1,300 per year, which amount had been supplied by members of
the Board of Managers as an emergency bonus in 1917. The
justice of the request was recognized by the Board of Estimate,
and the additional sum was granted for 1918.

While this puts the annual Maintenance Fund above $200,-
000 for the first time, it does not give us any increase in the
amount available for food and supplies. We are confronted with

TWENTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT 83

the difficult problem of feeding our collections and maintaining
the Park at unprecedently high prices for all foods and supplies,
on a sum actually less than was required in 1914.

The Administration Department lost the only two employees
it had that were eligible for military service during 1917. Cyril
J. Newman, our stock Accountant, volunteered for service in the
Navy. He left us on August 25, and is now attached to the
transport President Grant. Edward Reuter, an assistant gate-
man, was drafted into the National Army on August 31, and is
now in training at Camp Upton.

Anthony Saracena, an employee of the Privilege Depart-
ment, was also drafted into the National Army on October 1.

Funds and Accounts.—There were no changes, practically,
in the accounts during the year. One new fund was created, called
the “Salary Bonus Fund,” which was made up of the subscrip-
tions of members of the Board of Managers for the purpose of
paying the ten per cent. salary bonus to all low salaried employ-
ees for the year 1917. These amounts were disbursed monthly
by the Chief Clerk under a special pay roll, and the fund auto-
matically closed out at the end of the year. The subscribers to
this fund were as follows:

Emerson McMillin Ogden Mills

Edw. S. Harkness Andrew Carnegie
Cleveland H. Dodge Wm. Pierson Hamilton
Mortimer L. Schiff E. C. Converse

Grant B. Schley

The improvement and Repair Account was also closed for
the year by transferring the small unexpended balance to the
Animal Fund. There were but two open Corporate Stock ac-
counts in the Ground Improvement Fund on December 31, both
of which will be closed by the recall of unexpended balances early
in 1918; the improvements having been completed.

The usual audit of accounts was made, and the certificate of
the Auditors appears in connection with the Financial State-
ments, published elsewhere in this report.

Relief Association.—It will be of interest to the members
of the Zoological Society to note the results accomplished by the
Zoological Park Relief Association. This is an employee’s or-
ganization, supported by them purely for the relief and benefit

84 NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY

of employees and their families. The total sum collected since
it was organized in 1901 to December 31, 1917, for initiation
fees, dues and interest on funds was $7,293.14. During the same
period seventy-two death claims have been paid to members and
their families, aggregating with all expenses $5,501.69, leaving
a balance in the Treasury of $1,791.45.

Co-operative Store.—As an aid to Park employees in meet-
ing the constantly increasing cost of food, the Zoological Society
authorized the opening of a co-operative store, agreeing to fur-
nish the capital and pay the greater part of the operating cost.

A portion of the store room for maintenance supplies in
the west end of the Service Building was taken for this purpose,
and the first stock of groceries was put in just before the close
of the year 1916. Coupon books are sold to employees, and de-
ductions therefor are made from their pay envelopes. Goods
are sold at a very slight advance on cost, to cover the expenses
not borne by the Zoological Society; and at the end of the year
the net profits are distributed pro rata to purchasers of the cou-
pon books. While the capital available and its purchasing power
is not sufficient to enable us to take advantage of market con-
ditions to any great extent, we have been able to effect savings
to employees that in the course of a year’s time amount to a con-
siderable sum. The total business of the co-operative store for
the year was approximately $8,000. At the close of the year we
were able to declare a dividend of one per cent to the purchasers
of coupon books, and it is estimated that the total saving to
employees exceeded five hundred dollars.

Privileges.—While the general condition of business during
the year 1917 as affecting this department was by no means
normal, we were able to make a very much better showing than
last year in the privileges as a whole. Attendance at the perk
for the year showed an increase of nearly fifteen per cent cver
1916, and there was a corresponding increase in the receipts in
practically all divisions of the Privileges. Excellent results
would have been shown but for the greatly increased cost of
supplies that entered into our operations.

Employees of the Privilege Department were not included
in the arrangements made for a ten per cent salary bonus in
1917 for all Maintenance employees drawing less than $1,300.
We felt, therefore, that some arrangement for a similar bonus
should be provided, and such a proposal was made to the em-

TWENTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT 85
ployees of the Privileges, to be based upon the net results for
the season. The interest of all was thus enlisted, and we believe
the co-operation resulting had a very satisfactory effect on the
final figures. At any rate, we were able to give the bonuses,
several hundred dollars in the aggregate, and the distribution
was made just before the end of the year, in a lump sum to each

employee.

Rocking Stone Restaurant.—Difficult as the problem has been
for several years of maintaining a given standard of service at
the Rocking Stone Restaurant without incurring serious losses,
it became almost impossible in the past year. The gross receipts
were reduced but slightly, but advancing prices on all supplies
involved a loss for the year. In an effort to conserve and add to
the food supplies, a garden was established in a portion of the
Elk Range. Results for the first season were not very satisfac-
tory, but it is believed that hereafter substantial improvements
can be made.

Boating.—The boating season for 1917 was the first full sea-
son for the new dock, and the result,—very largely due to this
improvement,—was entirely satisfactory. The net profit was
considerably more than double that of the previous season, which
was, however, seriously interfered with by delay in constructing
the new dock.

In spite of the fact that expenditures in all kinds of recrea-
tion were somewhat curtailed by the unusual conditions that pre-
vailed, this particular branch of the privileges experienced the
best season in its history. On the whole, the result was a most
convincing argument on the necessity and desirability of main-
taining a high standard of equipment and the greatest efficiency
in operation.

It was necessary to add two carloads of new steel boats to
our equipment, in order to replace old ones that had to be dis-
carded. Our experience had shown us some weak points in the
construction and design of the boats adopted as our standard,
and by placing our orders well in advance for spring delivery,
so that the boats could be made up during the winter, we were
able to have some special features included that will add very
materially to their usefulness. Our first steel boats have now
been in use ten years, and it will be necessary to add at least a
carload of new boats each season to take the place of those
discarded.

86 NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY

Boat House Restaurant.—While there was a small falling off
in the gross business at the Boat House Restaurant we were able
by careful economy and a change in the operating plan for the
winter months to make a better showing than in 1916. It was
decided to close the main dining room between November 1 and
April 1. This permits continuous operating of the lunch room
with a light refreshment service from 9 to 5:30 daily, and dis-
penses with the services of a chef for the winter.

Soda Water.—A very substantial increase was made over
last year in gross receipts from this source, but the increase in
cost of materials more than kept pace with it so the net results
were not as good as we hoped they would be. There is perhaps
no other branch of the privileges more seriously affected by the
present conditions than the soda and ice cream business. Their
immediate future is so uncertain as to make it difficult to make
plans for the coming season. The shortage of sugar very prob-
ably may cause the Government to place serious restrictions upon
its use for these purposes.

One very substantial and much needed improvement from
which we had the benefit in 1917, was the putting in of an ex-
cellent concrete floor in the Shelter Pavilion. The floor drains
to the catch basins permit its being quickly and thoroughly
cleaned, and add materially to the sanitary control of this stand.
We took advantage of the opportunity given us by the dis-
mantling of this stand to replace the old style soda fountain with
a modest priced counter service fountain, making a plain but
substantial outfit.

While there probably is no prospect of relief at the present
time as regards the condition of the soda pavilion and fountain
in front of the Reptile House, the fact should not be overlooked
that an entirely new structure, with a new fountain, must be
provided in the very near future. Some repair work will have
to be done to get through the coming season.

Guide Book.—The American Eagle edition of the Guide Book
was placed on sale on August 1, just in time to prevent a break
in the supply, although the last edition went more rapidly in the
early months of the season than had been anticipated.

There was no change in the standard of quality set for the
Guide Book, though the profits from its sale were materially re-
duced by advances in the cost of paper stock and other items.

TWENTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT 87

A departure was made from the usual practice by using a
color reproduction of a fine picture of an American eagle for the
cover, with red, white and blue border. Before the close of the
year the new edition had been reduced by nearly eight thousand
copies. The Guide Book has now run into seventeen editions,
with a total issue of more than a quarter of a million copies.

Souvenir Books, Postal Cards and Miscellaneous Publica-
tions.—An important item under this heading during the year
was the new issue of souvenir postal cards. A number of rather
unattractive subjects in the old series, including some rather
unimportant buildings, were dropped out. Twelve new plates,
made from especially striking photographs, were added to bring
the series up to seyenty-five subjects, permitting three sets of
twenty-five cards each. These changes, with the advance in the
cost of stock, added considerably to the cost of each set, but was
more than offset in their appearance as increased sales indicate.
The issue ran to nearly a million cards.

Gate Receipts.—The practice that has prevailed for several
years of placing the gate receipts to the credit of the Improve-
ment and Repair Account and using them for carrying on urgent
repair work that could not be provided for from the funds for
Maintenance was discontinued. Only $2,000 were appropriated
out of 1917 gate receipts for the Improvement and Repair Ac-
count and the balance was placed to the credit of the Animal
Fund, as usual. The amount collected for admissions at the
entrance showed a substantial increase over 1916.

Riding Animals.—There was a decided improvement in the
business of this division of the privileges over the receipts for
last year. The gross results were in excess of the normal figures
that prevailed for several seasons just prior to 1916. There was
some delay in getting the riding elephant started in the spring,
which was compensated in part by excellent receipts late in the
season.

GROUND IMPROVEMENT AND MAINTENANCE WORK OF THE
DEPARTMENT OF FORESTRY AND CONSTRUCTION.

Hermann W. Merkel, Chief Constructor and Forester;

Elephant’s Door.—The only work done from this fund was
in the Elephant House, where a partition was cut through and

TWENTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT 39

a very heavy sliding door of steel was installed in order that the
male African elephant could be shifted from one stall to another,
and to avoid the necessity of the keepers entering a cage with
such a powerful and mischievous animal.

The destructiveness, strength, and cunning of the animal,
necessitated careful planning. A great mass of steel had to be
used in this door, approximately 4,000 pounds, and yet it can be
opened and closed upon its steel roller-bearing wheels by cne
man. So far it has withstood all of the assaults of the elephant.

IMPROVEMENT AND REPAIR FUND.

Small Mammal House.—The most important item of work
performed at the expense of this fund was the rebuilding of the
large interior cages along the east side of the Small Mammal
House. This entire series of cages, eighteen in number, were
built anew with concrete and composition floors, steel partitions,
steel and glass roofs and electrically welded wire fronts. The old
metal gutters were removed, and new ones of steel and concrete
were substituted. This completes the rebuilding of the interior
cages of this house, which has been going on for two years, and
now the finished work presents a greatly improved appearance.

Great care was taken in the design to make every detail of
the steel work as simple as possible, and to leave no corners or
crevices to accumulate rust and dirt. I firmly believe that better
cages than these cannot be built. The cost of this item to the
Improvement and Repair Fund was $1,500; a portion of the
work was done by our Maintenance Force.

New Hippo Tank.—At the Elephant House, a new and
larger tank, six feet by fourteen and one-half feet, was built for
the pygmy hippopotami, because the animals had become en-
tirely too large for the old tank. The new tank has a depth for
36 inches of water, it is connected with the sewer, and is sup-
plied with internal heating facilities. The railing and heating
coils were moved back in order to accommodate the installation,
and a new gate was cut in the steel work of the hippopotamus
stall.

Large Shelter Pavilion.—In the Shelter Pavilion the wooden
floors and beams were removed, and a concrete floor upon ash
fill was substituted. Advantage was taken of that opportunity

90 NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY

to relay the tile drains from the Wild-Fowl] Pond that run un-
derneath this pavilion, and to build a small cellar under the
refreshment stall at the south end of the building. This new
floor, which cost $850, is a great improvement, being more
sightly and also more sanitary than the old wood floor.

Storage Shed.—The beams and other woodwork removed
from the Shelter Pavilion were used in the completion of the
new Storage Shed, situated north of and parallel with the Work-
shops Building. This storage house, used for lumber, etc., makes
a very valuable adjunct to our plant.

A heating system was installed in the new Garage.

Important repairs were made on the side walls of the Sea-
Lion Pool, portions of which had become disintegrated because
of the poor quality of concrete supplied by the contractors.

At the Tea House, the steps were partially rebuilt.

Walk repairs were strictly limited to those places where
they were most urgently needed.

Pheasant Cages.—Five steel pheasant cages, covering an
area of 2,850 square feet, which were donated by Col. Anthony
R. Kuser, were taken down at Bernardsville, and moved to the
Park. Two of them, after being slightly remodeled, were set
up north of the Pheasants’ Aviary upon a concrete foundation,
and supplied with pavement and drainage.

New Railing.—A new railing eight hundred feet long was
erected on the west side of the Boston Road, between the Buffalo
and Boston Road entrances, to replace the old rustic railing that
had become dilapidated and dangerous.

Flag Poles.—Two large flag-poles were erected; one at Baird
Court, just south of the Italian Garden, and the other one on the
hill near the Rocking Stone.

MAINTENANCE WORK.

Repairs.—In addition to the construction work mentioned,
the usual amount of repairs and replacements to buildings, from
cellars to roofs, was accomplished, involving work by men in all
of the building trades. Many fences, also, were repaired.

TWENTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT 91

Food Crops.—Extensive new operations in the raising of
food supplies for the animals were carried out. Owing to the
high cost of all kinds of food for animals, it was determined to
use all the space that could be spared for the cultivation of crops.
The major portion of the Elk Range, part of the Wild Horse
Range, the field formerly known as the ball ground, and in-
creased areas at the Nursery were planted and kept under in-
tensive cultivation throughout the season. It is very gratifying
to be able to report that very good results were obtained, in spite
of the fact that new sod ground had to be used, that the innu-
merable wild squirrels and rabbits of the Park committed seri-
ous depredations, and that the season was very unfavorable.

We raised during the year the following products:

This was accomplished without increasing the force, by re-
ducing non-essential work to the limit, and obtaining a certain
amount of volunteer work from various employees. ~ The forest-
ry force and the park cleaners, often augmented the force usually
employed at this work, without too seriously neglecting their
own. Only the most necessary work was undertaken in the prun-
ing and trimming of trees adjacent to walks, roads, or other
places where visitors or installations were endangered. Of
course, this neglect can be endured only for a limited time, for

otherwise the tree life would suffer seriously. The high winds of
early winter have caused great damage to our forests.

Some work, mostly volunteer, was done for the Red Cross
Base in the Zoological Park, especially in erecting the working
platform in the Lion House, and in making a great number of
packing cases for shipments destined for France.

The policing of the grounds was carried on as usual. The
arrests and summonses during the year numbered 255, the
majority of them being for offenses against the anti-litter ordin-
ance, or against the rule prohibiting the bringing in of intoxicat-
ing liquors. Convictions were obtained in nearly all cases, and
the fines imposed by the Magistrates amounted to $477.

In spite of the unusual conditions imposed by the high cost
of material and food, the scarcity of labor, the additional work
caused by the raising and distribution of a greater amount of
food crops the time absorbed by the drilling and other work of
the Zoological Park Guards Company of the Home Defense
League, and the great reduction in the sum available for improve-
ments and repairs, we have completed the year with the Park
and its installations in fairly good condition.

DEPARTMENT OF ENGINEERING.

George M. Beerbower, Civil Engineer.

During the earlier months of the year, preliminary plans
were made for a Heads and Horns Museum with studies for the
facade, and a design for a bronze tablet containing the names of
the persons who subscribed funds for the cost of the building.

Surveys were made of the various locations that were to be
considered, and tall seantlings were erected on each, showing
the heights and angles of the various forms of the building which
were suggested, in order that comparisons might be made to de-
termine which would be the most desirable.

Elevations were taken on the surface, and soundings for
rock were made in order that estimates for excavations could
be made. Finally it was decided to postpone the construction
until after the war.

The record maps of the Park were all brought down to
date, to include the improvements made during the year; and

94 NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY

the large colored map was revised to embody the changes made
on the easterly side in the boundary line and the abutting prop-
erty by the Public Service Commission, in the erection of the
Interborough Rapid Transit Railroad.

Owing to the suspension of building operations on account
of the war, there seemed to be little work for the engineer, and
accordingly he accepted temporary employment with the Public
Service Commission from the end of the year.

DEPARTMENT OF PHOTOGRAPHY AND PUBLICATION.

Elwin R. Sanborn, Editor and Photographer; Anna Newman, Assistant.

Photography.—The work accomplished in 1917, included a
complete series of the kangaroos and wallabies, including the
rufous-necked, black-faced, Parry, Woodward kangaroo and the
interesting West Australian rat kangaroo; the ring-tailed wal-
laby, short-tailed wallaby, brush-tailed wallaby, several females
of different kangaroo species with young in the pouches. Pho-
tographs were made of the phalanger, bandicoot, immature eland
and Grant zebra. An extensive series of pictures was made of
pheasants, herons, geese, egrets, emus and ostriches, illustrating
some of their characteristic habits.

A series of the wild equines was made for Prof. Osborn;
and details of the flag raising ceremony, Members’ Day, manceu-
vers of Company A of the Park Guards, and the Red Cross
Workers at the Lion House.

A number of negatives were made for a manufacturer and
an advertising company, and special prints were made for the
Country Gentleman, Literary Digest, Cosmopolitan, Everybody’s
Magazine and other publications.

A lecture, illustrated with slides and motion pictures, was
given at the Colony Club; and the same pictures, and a collection
of slides—never before exhibited—depicting the life of the gray
squirrel, were loaned to the American Museum of Natural His-
tory, for use in their lecture hall.

The supply of materials for photographie work still is un-
certain and erratic. Nevertheless, there has been satisfactory
progress in the production of American substitutes for foreign

TWENTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT 95

chemicals. An urgent request of one of the largest manufac-
turers of photographic supplies in America,—and perhaps in the
world,—for old negative glass, is a striking example of the part
that foreign materials have played in American-made products.
A good stock of several important chemicals was obtained by
this department at the beginning of the war, and by practicing
the strictest economy it is yet available.

Bulletin.—Six numbers of the Zoological Society Bulletin
were issued in 1917. Inasmuch as the Park is the chief source
of supply for material for the Bulletin, the lack of new acces-
sions has been keenly felt. Mr. Ellis Joseph’s collection from
Australia, and the collections of the Research Station have come
in most opportunely. A large part of the paper stock, purchased
early in 1917, is yet available, and will last for several months
of this year.

Annual Report.—The report for the past year was issued
as heretofore.

Zoopathologica.—Dr. George A. MacCallum contributed the
second number of this publication entitled Some New Forms of
Parasitic Worms.

Tropical Wild Life-——The Society’s first year’s work at the
Station in the tropics of Guiana has been recorded in a handsome
octavo volume of over 500 pages. The text is by Mr. Beebe, Mr.
Hartley and Mr. Howes and the illustrations, numbering 143,
are from photographs by the authors. A careful review of the
book will be printed in the May, 1918, number of the Bulletin.

Appended is a statement of the work of this department
in 1917:

CONCLUSION.

The continuously advancing cost of practically everything
used in the maintenance of the Zoological Park is of course a
source of continuous anxiety. The effort to produce food in the
Park, and to economize to the utmost limits, must be unremitting.
At all hazards, however, we must do two things. We must keep
our 4,000 living things clean and in good health, and we must
prevent the buildings, dens, aviaries and fences of the Park from
deteriorating through lack of care. If our walks are not at every
point kept fully up to the highest standard of previous years,
the public may know that it is because the labor and material
has been more seriously needed elsewhere.

During the year 1918, a very serious amount of repair work
must be bestowed upon the eastern portion of the roof of the Lion
House, and the ceilings underneath.

Respectfully submitted,

WILLIAM T. HORNADAY,
Director.

REPORT OF THE
PENSION BOARD

NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY

N behalf of the Pension Board of the New York Zoological
Society, I beg to repert that this board, consisting of Mr.
George C. Clark, *Mr. H. Casimir deRham, Dr. Lewis R. Mor-
ris, Mr. Percy R. Pyne, Mr. Wm. B. Osgood Field, Dr. Charles
H. Townsend, Mr. H. R. Mitchell, Mr. R. L. Ditmars, and Mr.
H. W. Merkel, as named by the Executive Committee, has held
its meetings as heretofore in the offices of Mr. George C. Clark
on the first Wednesday of every month when there was any busi-
ness to transact that could not be taken care of by the Secretary
or the Membership Committee.

No pensions were granted during the year. Two applica-
tions were received from employees of the Aquarium, one of
whom, John Smith, died before the Board could act upon his
application, and the second, that of Michael L. Lawrence, is still
pending.

During the year, seventeen members were lost through death
or resignations, relieving the fund of nearly 110 years of accu-
mulated services, as the following table will show:

The large number of resignations is unquestionably due to
the great advance in wages and salaries in all lines of industry,
while those of the Zoological Park and Aquarium were increased
only 10 per cent, through the bonus given by the Zoological So-
ciety. This bonus, being a temporary matter, was not assessed
by the Board.

Eleven new members were acquired during the year, after
having been duly certified by the Directors of either the Aqua-
rium or Zoological Park, and examined by the physician of the
Board, Dr. Gilbert J. Van der Smissen.

The net increase of the accumulated fund during the year
was $11,420.10, of which $1,241.53 was derived from interest on
investments. During the year the Pension Board invested $10,925
in bonds, earning slightly over 4 per cent; $5,000 of this being
in Second Liberty Loan Bonds. In addition to this there was at
the close of the year an uninvested balance of $3,411.96. The
total amount available for pensions at the end of 1917 is $37,-
625.71, with three applications for pension pending.

It is with great regret that the Board reports the loss of its
valued member, Mr. H. Casimir deRham. The following reso-
lution was adopted and incorporated in the minutes of the Board:
Approved February 4, 1918.

RESOLVED, That the Pension Board of the New York Zoological Society
hereby expresses its deep regret at the loss of its valued member, Mr. H. Casimir
deRham, whose valuable advice and faithful services have been freely given as
a member of this Board, ever since its creation.

The Pension Board feels its loss very keenly, and offers to the members of
Mr. deRham’s family its most sincere sympathy in their bereavement.

Respectfully submitted,

HERMANN W. MERKEL,
Secretary, Pension Board.

Chairman, Pension Board.

TROPICAL RESEARCH STATION

Bartica District, British Guiana.

SECOND ANNUAL REPORT, FOR THE YEAR 1917.

William Beebe, Directing Curator; G. Inness Hartley, Research Associate; John
Tee Van, Assistant; Isabel Cooper, Artist.

= to war service it was thought impossible to accom-

plish any work during the present year at the Research
Station of the Zoological Society in British Guiana. But dur-
ing recovery from an airplane accident, I made a short expe-
dition to Guiana, with Mr. Tee Van as assistant; Isabel Cooper,
artist, and a party of Americans interested in this British Col-
ony and the work of the Station. My purpose was to make cer-
tain that the year’s storage had not injured the instruments,
books and other equipment of the laboratory, and to recrate
the more perishable paraphernalia. This was successfully ac-
complished, and, in addition, the month of September was spent
in intensive work. The second-growth about Kalacoon had been
cut and burned for rubber planting, and for this and other rea-
sons it was deemed advisable to move the entire outfit of the
station directly across the river to the Penal Settlement, where
the Government. through the kind offices of Messrs. Frére and
Rolleston, placed a large building at my disposal, for use during
the continuance of the war. This we occupied at once and for
the succeeding month concentrated on the jungle which began
within a hundred yards of our new home.

Our work dealt with the specimens which, from the first
day, began to accumulate, and with certain unfinished researches
begun last year. Especial attention was given to birds and in-
sects. The number of the former known to inhabit Bartica Dis-
trict was increased from three hundred and fifty-one to cver
four hundred. This was achieved through three sources; actual
specimens taken this year, identification of uncertain species
secured last year, and through published records. Many inter-

esting models and mimics-among insects were taken, with full
notes, and an interesting series of paintings begun, depicting
the extremes of color change in lizards. Remarkable success was
attained in this work by the use of chloroform, the reptiles ex-
hibiting radical changes of color and pattern at a certain stage
of anaesthetic relaxation. One of the most valuable acquisitions
was a set of ninety paintings and sketches of living zoological
subjects, made by Miss Cooper and Mr. Tee Van, both of whom
volunteered their services for this purpose.

Several thousand specimens, ranging from mammals to in-
sects, were collected and brought back, eighty-five of them being
alive. These specimens were as follows:

800 Arachnida 20 Amphibians
3,880 Insects 51 Reptiles (6 alive)
30 Fish (all alive) 98 Birds (42 alive)

7 Mammals (3 alive)

Among the most important and interesting additions to the
collection of the Zoological Park were a young tapir in the striped
pelage, an Imperial Amazon parrot, (Amazona imperialis), and
a silky ant-eater. (Cyclotes didactylus), the latter brought north
for the first time to any American collection of living animals.
A black-throated cardinal, (Paroaria jugularis), was new to our
series of these handsome birds. Four toucans, a hawk-headed
parrot, (Deroptyus accipitrinus accipitrinus), a spotted cavy and
numerous sma!] birds completed the shipment.

In addition to the work at the Guiana Station, collections
were made on nine West India Islands, during stops of the
steamer.

It is a matter for congratulation that the first volume of

researches has appeared so soon after the actual work. The
usual delay of several years intervening between such researches
and their publication, has little excuse. Material for a second
volume is rapidly accumulating, and it is hoped that conditions
will soon permit of a renewal of active field and laboratory re-
search on a larger scale than before.

REPORT OF THE
DIRECTOR OF THE AQUARIUM

TO THE BOARD OF MANAGERS.

li HE year 1917 is the fifteenth in the history of the Aquarium
under the management of the Zoological Society, and the
twentieth since its inception.

While the institution has always had the patronage of the
people to a degree quite unusual among public museums, it has
not received official support commensurate with its popularity,
its actual field of work and its possibilities for greater usefulness.

The unprepossessing external appearance which the Aqua-
rium presents to the visitor is due to the fact that it is housed
in an old and inadequately cared for building. It remains the
same unsightly structure that it has been for the past one hun-
dred years. Its interior aspect is better, and the structural de-
fects of the building are largely overlooked in the presence of
its admirable and extensive living exhibits.

The Aquarium must, by reason of its great interest for the
public, be classed as a public museum, and its staff has always
been under the necessity of performing duties similar to those
of curators in such museums. The fact cannot be overlooked
that its work has hitherto been carried on under such serious
disadvantages as lack of exhibition and office space and facilities
for collecting and caring for its exhibits.

The space devoted to exhibits reached its full capacity years
ago, so that reasonable growth of its collections has been alto-
gether impossible.

The inadequacy of the building to the work required of the
Aquarium has not been due to lack of well prepared plans for
its improvement. The needs of the Aquarium have been recog-

nized and various plans for its betterment have been submitted
and found approval—but action has so far not been secured.

During the fifteen years that the Aquarium has been under
the management of the Zoological Society, the total amount se-
cured from the City for various improvements of the building
has been $76,000, an average of $5,067 per annum—not a large
sum for an institution necessarily requiring a large amount of
machinery and piping. Most of the improvements made during
this period are not apparent to visitors, being largely those con-
nected with the different water systems and located out of sight
of the public. The machinery has been gradually renewed and
as far as possible modernized. The mechanical equipment is at
present in sound working condition, so that the maintenance of
the living aquatic exhibits is on a safe basis. Some of the diffi-
culties connected with the administration of the Aquarium are
very serious.

During the new moon tides of each month, wet coal has to
be shovelled into the furnaces by firemen wearing rubber hoots
and standing knee deep in water. The sea has always invaded
the fireroom floor and the underground pipe galleries during new
moon tides. This almost unbearable condition has been tolerated
under the constant protest of the Director. The Aquarium needs
to have its mechanical department removed to the unused base-
ment at the front of the building, where it can be protected dur-
ing high tides. The space vacated in the rear of the building
should be made available for exhibits, and advantage should be
taken of the change to create additional office and storage space
by the addition of a third story.

While the tides are high, one of the pumps becomes entirely
submerged, so that it ceases to operate, and steam heat is cut
off the entire building until the tide falls, a serious matter in
cold weather. The coal storage space is so limited that the Aqua-
rium has always had to depend on coal delivered twice a week.
This winter it is on the precarious basis of daily coal deliveries.
If these stop for forty-eight hours, the Aquarium will lose its
collections and be put out of business until next summer.

The following letter is from the Architect of the Park De-
partment. Mr. Kraus saw the fireroom when it was flooded on
October 24, 1917:

TWENTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT 109

CITY OF NEW YORK—DEPARTMENT OF PARKS
Boroughs of Manhattan and Richmond
Municipal Building, 10th Floor
Canor Warp, Commissioner. October 24th, 1917.
Mr. C. H. ‘Townsend, Director,
New York Aquarium, New York.
Dear Sir:
I visited the boiler room in the Aquarium this afternoon to see the condi-

tions there during a high tide.

I entirely agree with you that the present conditions are intolerable. The
boiler room is cramped and the coal storage space very limited.

Having seen the fireman in rubber boots shovelling wet coal into the fur-
naces, with the ash pits, at the same time, half filled with water, I must congratu-
late you on haying been able to successfully operate your mechanical department

all these years with such handicaps.
You can count on me for such assistance as I can render in your endeavors

to convince the City authorities of the urgent need of a change in the location
of the machinery department as described in your recent report.
Very truly yours,
(SIGNED) JAROS KRAUS, Architect.

The Aquarium had 1,595,118 visitors during the past year,
and this attendance was lower than usual. It would seem that
a museum patronized by the public to such an extent, should be
put on a safe and sanitary basis without further argument.

IMPROVEMENTS FROM THE MAINTENANCE FUND.

Enlarged Exhibition Tanks.—The work of enlarging exhi-
bition tanks on the ground floor, which was begun in 1916, was
continued by the Aquarium force as opportunity afforded.
Twenty-two of the glass-fronted tanks have now been enlarged.
In eight cases, adjoining tanks were combined in pairs, making
in all fourteen tanks, having a depth back from the glass of
twelve feet. Those combined in pairs have, of course, twiee the
width and swimming space of the single tanks which were mere-
ly extended backward.

The enlargement of exhibition tanks is now about completed,
as any extension of the work would involve alterations in the
heavy piping system too serious to be practicable. The increased
capacity of the enlarged tanks naturally resulted in lowering the
. water level in the underground reservoir adjacent to the Aqua-
rium and holding 100,000 gallons of pure sea water. This made
necessary the addition of several thousand gallons to the supply
of stored water, which was brought by tank boat from the open
ocean.

110 NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY

Most of the enlarged tanks have already been lined in part
with rockwork, and this treatment will be resumed when a new
supply of material can be obtained.

Another improvement effected by the employees under the
direction of the foreman, was the lowering of six wooden re-
serve tanks to a level where they are more accessible to the
attendants who care for them. Their original high position, with
their bottoms two feet above the floor of the service gallery, made
them difficult to reach.

A matter of importance connected with the work of enlarg-
ing tanks was the locating of several small leaks in the masonry
which appear to account for the loss of a considerable amount
of water from the reservoir. It is believed that the last of these
leaks has been discovered.

Refrigerating Plant——Aside from the enlargement of cer-
tain exhibition tanks, the most important improvement of the
year was the removal of the refrigerating engine and condenser
from the interior of the building to the top of the wall back of
the pump room. Advantage was taken of the change to abandon
the bulky tank and coil system, and install a condenser of the
modern double-tube type, which requires less space and gives
better service. The removal of this machinery became necessary
in order to comply with requirements of the Fire Department
for the special housing-in of ammonia-using equipment.

Photographs of the room constructed for the refrigerating
plant and an interior view are presented herewith. The work
of dismantling the plant was done by the Aquarium force. It
was housed and installed under the direction of the Park De-
partment, for which work an appropriation of $1,500 was se-
cured from the City. It was in use during the past summer in its
new position, and gave satisfactory service. This water cooling
equipment is operated for about six months only—May to No-
vember—and its use is to reduce the summer temperature of
fresh water flowing to tanks containing salmon, trout and
other northern fishes, including eggs and young fry in the fish
hatchery.

The space made vacant by the removal of the refrigerating
plant has already been utilized by the enlargement of two ex-
hibition tanks.

TWENTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT i fa la

Storage Space for Coal.—EKarly in the summer the Director
acceded to the wish of the Commissioner of Parks, to remove the
unsightly shed adjacent to the Aquarium, which had long been
used for storing a small reserve of coal. The Park Department
secured an appropriation of $650 for the enlargement of the coal
space within the building, but as this was not immediately avail-
able the Aquarium could not be safeguarded in its winter coal
supply. It was, in fact, reduced to the necessity of depending
upon daily deliveries of coal during a prolonged shortage of fuel,
although every possible economy was practiced. By closing the
building to visitors from January 18 to 22, inclusive, and on the
following Monday, a saving of about fifty per cent in fuel was
effected. The living exhibits would probably have been lost had
it not been for twenty-five tons’ emergency supply long hidden
in an underground pipe conduit. The space available for coal
is so limited that it can hold under the best conditions not more
than four days’ supply.

Appropriation for Repairs to Roof—The roof of the Aqua-
rium, which has long been in bad condition, was examined by
the Park Department, and an appropriation of $3,000 was ap-
plied for and secured. A further appropriation of $375 was
secured for the re-surfacing of the exterior walls, which had
become greatly discolored.

Exhibits.—The exhibits at the Aquarium are as varied and
extensive as at any time in the past. They cannot, in fact, be
increased without making radical changes in the building, such
as those suggested in the report for last year. By removing the
mechanical department from the rear to the basement of the
front of the building, much space could be created for new and
attractive exhibits and these could be installed in a manney su-
perior to anything yet attempted.

The total number of specimens now in the Aquarium is
6,049, and the number of species 186. Of fishes there are 4,611
specimens, representing 137 species; invertebrates 1,255 speci-
mens, and 18 species; amphibians 69 specimens, and 8 species;
reptiles 112 specimens, and 21 species; and two mammais—a
sea lion and a manatee. The sea lion has lived in the Aquarium
ten years and the manatee (Manatus inunguis, from the Ama-
zon) a year and a half.

It is a great satisfaction to be able to report a further im-
provement in the welfare of the living collections of the Aqua-

rium. The installation of a new salt water supply in 1908 im-
proved the conditions for keeping marine forms of life to a re-
markable degree. The enlargement of many of the exhibition
tanks a year ago has yielded further good results in this respect.
The completion of the Catskill Water System by the City has
probably benefited the Aquarium, as the fresh-water collections
were never in better condition. There has been less trouble from
Saprolegnia fungus than usual, and this may be due to water,
both purer and of lower temperature. No other aquarium main-
tains such extensive exhibits of aquatic life, and it is doubtful
if such exhibits have anywhere been kept with a greater degree
of success.

Marine and fresh-water fishes were collected as usual by
the Aquarium employees from local waters.

Three collections of tropical fishes were made in Florida
during the summer, two of them being in co-operation with the
Detroit and Philadelphia aquariums. This arrangement proved
to be economical and advantageous, although the number of
specimens brought to the New York Aquarium was somewhat
less than usual. The work of collecting and transporting the
tropical fishes was done by the New York Aquarium force, with
its own equipment, the other institutions paying the expenses.

During the summer the Aquarium made a number of ex-
changes of fishes with the New Jersey Fish Commission. The
specimens sent out were chiefly young whitefish from the Aqua-
rium hatchery, and several hundred pearl roach, of which there
was a surplus brought in by the Aquarium Collector. In Sep-
tember the Aquarium lent to the New Jersey Commission fifty
fresh-water fishes of seven species for exhibition at the Trenton
Fair.

The fishes received from New Jersey were numerous iarge
trout from the hatchery at Hackettstown; a collection of 100
fishes from Boonton Reservoir; and finally 150 fishes which had
been on exhibition at Trenton. The fishes from Boonton and
Trenton were transferred by a motor truck sent from the
Aquarium.

The Aquarium received from the New York State Fish Cul-
turist thirteen eels and six muskallunge of large size, together
with other fresh-water fishes.

114 NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY

Mr. E. K. Bruce, of Thornburg, Iowa, presented ten fancy
Japanese goldfish.

Three specimens of the alligator snapping turtle were re-
ceived from Louisiana, weighing 70, 87, and 101 pounds respec-
tively. The heaviest of these turtles had a total length of four
feet and nine inches.

A blue lobster weighing over thirteen pounds was received
in June, but like all of the giant lobsters taken from deep waters,
did not live long. Lobsters of bright blue color are very rare,
and this specimen, the largest blue lobster known, has been
mounted for exhibition.

During the year 2,587 specimens were purchased by the Zoo-
logical Society, and 166 were presented. In addition to these,
eggs of several species of fishes were received from the U. S.
Bureau of Fisheries, which were hatched in the Aquarium and
later distributed in public waters.

A complete list of purchases and gifts will be found else-
where in this report.

Aid to Schools and Teachers.—For many years the Aquarium
has supplied small forms of marine life to teachers for stocking
aquaria in the public schools. During the year such collections
were furnished to forty-one institutions. The number of classes
visiting the Aquarium with their teachers was 108, representing
4,326 pupils.

Paintings Showing the Color Changes of Fishes.—At the
request of the Director, the Executive Committee provided a
fund of $300 for the painting of certain tropical fishes conspic-
uous for their sudden changes in color and markings. Most
tropical fishes have the capacity of making changes in color in-
stantaneously, but little was known of such changes until the
records of observations made at the Aquarium were published
by the New York Zoological Society in 1909. As mere descrip-
tions were inadequate, and photographs were difficult to make
and lacked color, the making of paintings was desirable in order
+s do justice to the subject. The twenty paintings, showing as
many species, each in the various phases of color it is capable
of assuming, should, when published by the Society, constitute
an unusually interesting contribution to the natural history of

TWENTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT 115

fishes. Much of the descriptive matter has already been pre-
pared by the Director, who constantly supervised the work of
the artists.

Information Circulars.—Three circulars were added to the
list of ‘Information Circulars” published by the Aquarium.
These three- to six-page leaflets are useful in handling the cor-
respondence of the institution, as they relate to subjects about
which there is frequent inquiry. Those issued were: The Care
of Salamanders and Frogs in Captivity, by Ida M. Mellen; The
Care of Small Salt Water Aquaria, by Ida M. Mellen; and The
Administration of the Public Aquarium, by C. H. Townsend.

Annual Reception.—The annual reception at the Aquarium
on April 30, to members of the Zoological Society, was attended
by 318 persons. The building was specially illuminated, and was
decorated with plants loaned by the Park Department and the
Zoological Park. Music and refreshments were provided and
there were interesting motion pictures of aquatic life. The en-
larged tanks, with their greatly increased living exhibits, at-
tracted much favorable comment.

Reception to Museums’ Association.—On the evening of May
22, the American Association of Museums, then meeting in
New York, was invited to the Aquarium. Nearly one hun-
dred persons were present. A part of the evening was devoted
to an address by the Director on The Administration of the Pub-
lic Aquarium, which has since been published as one of the In-
formation Circulars of the New York Aquarium (No. 6). This
Association has over three hundred members, representing one
hundred and fifty museums in the United States and Canada.

Attendance.—Soon after the commencement of the war in
Europe, the attendance at the Aquarium began to decline, and
in 1915 the number of visitors was 1,538,831. In 1916 the at-
tendance was still less, being 1,499,667. The decline was attrib-
uted to the decrease in steamship travel, both immigrant and
tourist, between this country and Europe. During the past year
the number of visitors to the Aquarium increased by 95,451 as
compared with 1916.

The total attendance for 1917 was 1,595,118, a daily average
of 4,370 persons.

of the water of the Harbor, commenced at the Aquarium in 1903,
have been continued practically without interruption. These

Employees.—It is a pleasure to commend the work of the
Aquarium employees. In addition to their regular duties, they
have done most of the work on the exhibition tanks which have
been enlarged.

Two persons, the clerk and the office assistant, are now in
military service. Both of these were voluntary enlistments.
Their positions have not been refilled, as the office work has been
apportioned among other members of the staff. The funds thus
saved contributed much toward enabling the Aquarium to finish
the year without a deficit, which, owing to the increased cost
of fuel, would have been inevitable.

The work of collecting practically ail of the living exhibits
of the Aquarium devolves upon the employees, and this duty
often necessitates their absence when they are much needed in
the building. All aquariums, however, must do their own col-
lecting, as the animal dealer has little to offer in the way of
Aquarium exhibits.

Respectfully submitted,

CHARLES HASKINS TOWNSEND, Director.

REPORT OF THE

PROSECTOR

TO THE BOARD OF MANAGERS.

REG to submit the following report of the operations of the
Prosector’s Department for the year 1917:

During the year 119 specimens were received from the So-
ciety’s collections, distributed as follows:

The routine work of the department has been carried on as
usual, and a number of important preparations have been added
to the permanent collections.

The receipt of three specimens of the remarkable Australian
lizard, Trachysaurus rugosus, made it possible to investigate the
structure of this form in detail, with a number of interesting
results, among which the bilateral caecal pouch is important as
furnishing the first prototype found in a reptile of the avian
condition.

The material received during the year has been of great
value in the continuation of the Department’s investigation of
the morphology and phylogeny of the mammalian respiratory
tract. Notable accession came from the Marsupial collection,
Dendrolagus, Bettongia, Macropus giganteus and robustus. The
lung of the little Cyclothurus proved of the utmost interest and
significance. In the Hystricomorphs and Mustelidae, two groups
of exceptional importance in the phylogenetic interpretation of
the mammalian lung, valuable data were added by the specimens
of Hystrix, Erethizan, and Galictis.

120 NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY

Gratifying progress is to be reported from the department
of Neuor-anatomy. Professor Tilney’s technician, Miss Unger,
has completed during the year the task of serially sectioning the
brain of the gorilla “Dinah.” This invaluable and unique speci-
men is now, after the taking of the surface records, measure-
ments and photographs, in a complete series of about 1,560 sec-
tions, of which every fifth section is mounted with a Weigert
stain. Together with the brains of chimpanzee, orang and Hylo-
bates, treated by the same method, this material will furnish the
basis for an exhaustive study of the neural architectonics in the
Anthropomorpha.

During the year Mr. Camp, from the American Museum of
Natural History, used the material received in a study of the
Carnivore, Marsupial and Primate myology of the pectoral and
pelvic girdles and the extremities.

The receint of a specimen of Crypturus cinnamomeus af-
forded an opportunity for investigating and assembling the stru-
thious characters of this group.

In spite of the unavoidable reduction in the number and
range of the specimens caused by the war, the year has been
productive and satisfactory.

Report of the Auditing Committee

OF THE

NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY

To the President and Board of Managers
Of The New York Zoological Society:
Dear Sirs :—

We beg to report we have examined the annual audit of the books and ac-
counts of the New York Zoological Society for the year ending December 31,
1917, as made by Messrs. Marwick, Mitchell, Peat & Company, Chartered Ac-
countants, and herewith submit the same to you as a complete and satisfactory
audit of said books and accounts, including the Carnegie Pension Fund and the
Pension Fund Income Account, all expenditures and receipts of the various ac-
counts being clearly set forth, and it appearing that the cash on hand and at the
various depositories has been verified and found correct, and all securities in
which the funds of the Society are invested have been examined and found as
reported.

Expenditures made through the Park Department of the City of New York
have not been verified by this audit as such moneys have not passed through
the hands of this Society, but are in due course checked and verified by the
Comptroller of the City.

Respectfully submitted,
