The Committee expect a further increase in the at- tendance at the Park as the means of access become more de- veloped and better known. COLLECTIONS AT THE PARK. A census of the animals in the Zoological Park, taken Jan- uary 1, 1922, is as follows: January 1, 1922 ~ January eee Species Specimens Species Specimens Mammals: a... 185 623 196 629 BIGdG p83 hes eee 750 2174 797 2412 Reptiles 22.5) cee 3 465 85 465 1008 3262 1078 3506 As compared with January 1, 1921, this census shows a de- crease of 70 species and 244 specimens, TWENTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT 45 The health of the animals continues good and the os im- portant losses during 1921 were as follows: Mammals: Three Rocky Mountain sheep, two Spanish ibex, three ant-eaters, two tigers, one antelope, one gnu, three bears, one orang, one wart hog, one lioness, one anoa, one bless- bok, one chimpanzee. Birds: Two Cocks-of-the-Rock, one lesser bird of Paradise, one Count Raggi’s bird of Paradise. The important acquisitions were: Mammals: Two grizzly bears, four Rocky Mountain sheep, two Rocky Mountain goats, one capybara, two orangs, one ant- eater, two anoas, two young leopards, one Grant zebra, one chim- panzee, four buffalo, three elk, one pygmy hippopotamus, one kudu.

This de- /crease, however, is due to the fact that the Aquarium did not at- tempt to stock up for the winter as fully as last year because of the construction work going on there. 46 NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY The well-boat Seahorse was of the greatest service to the Aquarium during the summer in keeping up the collections and in supplying food. The boat made fifteen trips, gathering 935 fishes of forty-one different species in addition to invertebrates which were placed on exhibit or used for food. ALTERATIONS AT THE AQUARIUM. As stated in the last Annual Report, conditions at the Aqua- rium became intolerable so that plans and specifications were prepared by Mr. H. de B. Parsons for the removal of the boilers from the old, insanitary quarters which were inundated at high tide to a new waterproof basement under the front of the build- ing. The Society owes Mr. Parsons a debt of gratitude for his painstaking and sympathetic work in planning and supervising this work. On April 30, 1921, a contract for excavation of the basement and construction of a new pump and boiler room was awarded to Spencer, White & Prentis for $24,500. The total cost, with ex- tras, amounts to $26,650.25. $38,691 have been spent on new boilers, machinery and refrigerating compressor. The main con- tract for this work, with extras, was given to James McCullagh, Inc. The old high-pressure boilers and steam pumps have been replaced with small, low-pressure boilers and electrical pumps. The work is nearly completed and will involve a total expenditure of $65,341.25, $53,635.02 of which have been paid, leaving a re- mainder of $11,706.23 to be paid. The cost of these alterations has been charged against the Sage Endowment Account. It is intended to spend an addi- tional $10,000 in building a memorial entrance to Margaret Olivia Sage. The Society desires, in this way, to express its appreciation for the noble benefaction of Mrs. Sage which made possible these much needed changes. Owing to the generosity of one of the Board of Managers, Henry D. Whiton, Esq., $10,000 have been provided for the con- struction of large exhibition tanks to fill the space formerly occu- pied by the machinery. This will increase by one-fifth the ex- hibition space of the Aquarium: The foregoing work will involve a total of about $75,000 and will constitute a gift from the Society to the City of New York. The Society is glad to be able to state that this gift was TWENTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT 47 appreciated in its proper spirit by the City authorities who, on December 28, 1921, voted $86,000 of corporate stock for the en- largement of the existing second story over the entrance of the Aquarium and for an additional third story, plans for which have been prepared by Mr. Kendall of McKim, Mead and White. This will provide proper facilities for offices, for library and, above all, for laboratory. The administration of the Aquarium has been greatly handicapped by inadequate quarters for these purposes. With the completion of this addition, much scientific work can be done on the collections which are now not fully utilized. It is hoped that the reconstruction work can be completed during the summer of 1922. The Committee feel that this is one of the most important events in the history of the Society as the condition of the Aquarium has been a source of anxiety to the Committee for years. In addition, an application for $25,000 Special Revenue Bonds for a new roof to the Aquarium is pending before the Board of Aldermen. MAINTENANCE. Park.—The sum of $282,400 was provided by the City for the maintenance of the Park for the year 1921, and barely proved sufficient for the proper maintenance. For 1922, the City has provided only $266,937.44, being a decrease of $15,462.56. This will make it impossible to run the Park during the coming year without a deficit, which is estimated at least at $6,000. Aquarium.—The situation at the Aquarium is much the same as at the Park. The sum of $65,653 was provided by the City for 1921 for the maintenance of the Aquarium. While the Society asked for a substantial increase for 1922 in order to meet increased cost of coal and other supplies rendered necessary by the shifting of the machinery, only $63,262.98 were allowed, being a decrease of $2,390.02. We hope, however, to avoid a deficit at the Aquarium. FINANCES.

Sage Bequest.—Owing to litigation, there has been no further payment on the Sage Bequest, but a substantial sum, probably over $200,000, is expected in 1922. ACCOUNTS. A regrouping of the Society’s accounts has been made and will appear in the Treasurer’s Report. Sage Endowment Account.—The cash and securities in the Sage Endowment Account as of January 1, 1921, amounted to $489,481.33, and $3,576.90 were added to this during the year by profit on the sale of securities, making a total of $493,058.23. 50 NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY Securities in the amount of $54,566.14 were sold and the amount transferred to the Sage Construction Account on ac- count of Aquarium alterations. This leaves a balance of $438,492.09, all of which is invested in securities. Further drafts from this fund will be made for the completion of the Aquarium alterations and the Heads and Horns Museum. GENERAL INCOME FUND. The General Income Fund shows a balance of over $15,000. This Fund has to meet the overdrafts of all the other funds of the Society and it is the point where our finances are weakest. The only way to increase it is by a larger membership or through a General Endowment Fund of adequate size. Our General Endowment Account should not be less than $2,000,000 and this would leave the Sage Endowment Account free for use in scientific work. The most effective way in which the mem- bers of the Society can assist the Executive Committee is to bear in mind the continuing necessity of new members and the importance of securing bequests to the General Endowment Account. ANIMAL ACCOUNT. The amount to the credit of the Animal Account at the end of the year was $34,397.44. The price of animals has increased in recent years to such an extent that even with the large bal- ance on hand the Society will have barely adequate sums to purchase rare specimens. CADWALADER ENDOWMENT ACCOUNT. There was no call on the Cadwalader Endowment Account during the past year and the income has been allowed to ac- cumulate. STOKES ENDOWMENT ACCOUNT. The same is true of the Stokes Endowment Account. As soon as the available incomes of these two funds become of sufficient size they can be used to great advantage. IMPROVEMENT AND REPAIR ACCOUNT. The amount to the credit of the Improvement and Repair Account at the end of the year was $3,058.36. Gate receipts have been devoted to the upkeep of the Park structures and a TWENTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT 51 large amount of most necessary repair work has been accom- plished during the year which is set forth more particularly in the report of the Chief Constructor. GENERAL ENDOW MENT ACCOUNT. The total amount of the General Endowment Account is $447,124.78. Receipts during the year were as follows: Hstate or F.C. Converse... J... $25,000.00 Estatesof Jacob Heo Schiff 5... 22. 25,000.00 Estate of Emma C. Jones....... 1,000.00 Estate of C. E.

Pratt, his subscription of $10,000 which in 1920 had been credited to the Endowment Fund, was transferred to the Heads and Horns Museum Building Fund. The bequest of John Leyden, in the amount of $763.29, was also trans- ferred from the Endowment Fund to the Zoological Park Relief Association. John Leyden was an employee at the Park and after his disability through old age, the Society took care of him. In appreciation of this, he left his entire estate to the Society. Edmund C. Converse Legacy.—The most important legacy received during the year was a gift of $50,000 from the late Ed- mund C. Converse, Esq., who died on April 3, 1921. The Com- mittee was particularly gratified by the expression of good will from Mr. Converse as it has felt that the needs of the Society have not been adequately appreciated by its friends in their wills. The Society is really in great need of an increase in its Gen- eral Endowment Account which now amounts to less than a half million dollars. If this amount could be increased to one million dollars the Society would be able to carry on its opera- tions on the present scale without the risk of a deficit every year, although two million dollars will be needed if its work is to expand. Until this Account can be thus enlarged, the Society will not be on a sound financial basis. ART GALLERY ACCOUNT. During the past year the Art Gallery has been increased by the portrait of Director W. T. Hornaday by George R. Boynton. Bye NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY A Flamingo by Louis Agassiz Fuertes, an American Elk and a Puma, both by Carl Rungius, were also added. The balance on hand is only sufficient for one picture. In the near future, an ef- fort will be made to raise an additional fund so that the work of completing this gallery of North American animals can be carried on. The need of paintings of animals in their native surround- ings was never more apparent. Each day brings nearer the final extinction of some interesting forms of wild life. The galleries in the present Administration Building can be devoted to these paintings as soon as the Heads and Horns Collection is trans- ferred to the new Museum. The Committee has hoped for the appearance of some benefactor who would appreciate the unique opportunities of painting wild life and who would put this Account on a sound basis. TROPICAL RESEARCH STATION. The Tropical Research Station was opened in February un- der the direction of Mr. William Beebe and had a most success- ful year, the details of which are set forth in the report of the Director of the Station. The scientific standing of the Society has been greatly increased by the splendid work done by Mr. Beebe and his staff. Most interesting preparations have been made for the publication of the scientific results in very attrac- tive color form and without cost to the Society: The subscriptions to the Tropical Research Station for the past year were as follows: ColfAnthonysR wiser. sete ee ees $1,500.00 Krederie.

Volume II of the Pheasant Monograph was published during the spring of 1921, and it is expected that Volumes III and IV will appear during the spring of 1922. The edition is limited to 600 copies and the total sales to January 1, 1922, were 243 copies in America. NATIONAL COLLECTION OF HEADS AND HORNS. In order to complete the National Collection of Heads and Horns in time for its installation in the Heads and Horns Museum which is to be opened in May, the Executive Committee has made a special effort during the year to secure $10,000 to fill existing gaps in the collection. In order to start this fund a transfer of $1,103.93 was made from the Wild Life Account and_ sub- scriptions received in addition are as follows: MispenardsaStewanrt soe) tics. oat ee: $1,000 evan okey avalon esas adn Pee ore sc 1,000 BY Laila eee reall ieee vray ee cater sees cheesiest ce ae ravens 50 Mr. Mortimer Schiff has generously promised to subscribe $1,000 and he has further promised an additional subscription of $2,000, provided the remaining $5,000 necessary to complete the fund be raised before the 1st of May. The collection when completed will be unique of its kind in the world and every effort must be made to fill the gaps in the zoological collection and in the geographical collection so that they may be worthy of the Heads and Horns Museum. HEADS AND HORNS MUSEUM. The most important event of the year at the Park was the final awarding of the contract for the Heads and Horns Museum to the Miller-Reed Company in May, 1921, for the sum of $114,- 781.77. Work was begun immediately and at the end of the year the building was completed except as to interior fittings. It has proved a very beautiful addition to Baird Court and is in all re- spects most satisfactory. The total cost of the building, including architect’s fees is estimated to be $139,881.77, of which $100,000 were secured by special subscription and the balance from the Sage Endowment Account. Of this sum, $98,162.94 have been paid, leaving a “udoques “Y ulMmyy Aq ydeisojoug VudadZ NIVINNOW MAN Wo 2 Sen. Oe Bile Daal mm TWENTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT a0 balance of $41,718.83 to be paid. Thus, the ambition of the Society to provide proper housing for its great National Col- lection of Heads and Horns has at last been realized. It repre- sents a gift by the Society to the City of more than $125,000. This, added to the cost of the Aquarium alterations done by the Society, makes a total of over $200,000 donated by the Society to the City during the year.

This is, as usual, in a state of collapse because its only source of income is from the General Income Fund and we are con- stantly obliged to forego opportunities to publish valuable ma- terial owing to the straitened condition of our finances. During the year the following publications have appeared: The Twenty-fifth Annual Report of the Society for 1920; the January, March, May, July, September and November numbers of the Bulletin; Zoologica, Volume III, Nos. 1-13, inclusive; Zoo- pathologica, Volume I, No. 6. LIBRARY ACCOUNT. This Account is also supported solely by transfers from the General Income Fund and thus far the Society has been unable to provide more than $500 a year. A substantial fund of at least $5,000 is needed in order that the Society’s Library may be brought up to a standard in keeping with the general work of the Society. 56 NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY CARNEGIE PENSION ENDOWMENT. The General Income Fund continues to be burdened with the required annual contribution of $3,665 to the Pension Fund Income Account. While it does not begrudge the provisions of this fund for the safety of its employees, nevertheless the smail size of the Carnegie Pension Endowment has been very unfor- tunate for the Society. MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. The Medical Research Department under Dr. George S. Huntington continued to make use of such material as was re- ceived from our collections. A new system of distribution of dead animals between the Medical Research and the American Museum is now in effect and will produce even better results in the future. A Biological Laboratory is greatly needed at the Park where valuable observations could be made upon the living collections. BRONX PARKWAY COMMISSION. The great Bronx Parkway, originally urged by the Society to protect Bronx Lake and Lake Agassiz from pollution, is nearing its completion and will be finished in 1923. Several miles of fin- ished roadway have been paved and a still larger portion has been graded, while the river has been in many cases shifted away from the railroad track. Thousands of trees have been planted and the work is assuming a finished appearance. When com- pleted, this parkway will be one of the greatest in the world. RECEPTIONS. Annual Dinner.—The Thirteenth Annual Dinner to the Board of Managers was held through the courtesy of Watson B. Dickerman, Esq., at 998 Fifth Avenue, on Monday, December 26, 1921. Reception at the Aquarium.—On Tuesday, April 19, 1921, a reception was given to the Prince of Monaco. On Sunday, April 17, 1921, a luncheon was tendered him in the Administration Building at the Park. Both of these functions were largely at- tended and the Prince expressed himself as highly gratified with the exhibitions both at the Park and at the Aquarium, and as being especially interested in the National Collection of Heads and Horns. TWENTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT 57 Spring Meeting.—The Spring Meeting of the Board of Man- agers was held at the Zoological Park on Thursday, May 19, 1921. The meeting was preceded by a luncheon in the Administration Building and followed by a reception to the members of the So- ciety, presided over by the Ladies’ Auxiliary. There was an exceptionally large attendance and the weather was fortunately perfect. MEMORANDUM OF MEETINGS. 1922-1923. Annual Meeting of the Society. JANUARY 9, 1923, 3:30 P.M.

The Endowment Committee reported progress. Through the kindness of Mrs. Otto H. Kahn, the annual winter lecture of the Ladies’ Auxiliary was held at her resi- dence, 1100 Fifth Avenue, on Thursday, February 3, 1921. It was the most largely attended of any lecture given by the 62 NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY Ladies’ Auxiliary. The speaker, Mr. Roy Chapman Andrews of the American Museum, told in a fascinating way of his travels into the heart of Mongolia and Manchuria. The beau- tiful pictures in color, taken by Mrs. Andrews during the course of this expedition, were a special feature of the lecture, Mr. Madison Grant presided, and numerous new members were se- cured for the Zoological Society. The second business meeting of the Ladies’ Auxiliary was held on Thursday, April 14, 1921, at the office of Mr. Hastings. The main topic of discussion was the annual Spring Garden Party, which it was decided to hold on Thursday, May 19, 1921. Miss Robinson again volunteered to send out notices for the summer outings of children to the Zoological Park—these out- ings having proved so successful in the past. The Garden Party was held, as planned, on Thursday, May 19, and was favored with perfect weather. A military band added its usual note of gayety, and the great number of mem- bers’ children who were present made a delightful picture. Both young and old enjoyed the afternoon to the fullest extent, and thus one more thoroughly successful entertainment was added to the lovely Garden Parties of previous years. The next Annual Spring Garden Party will be held on May 25 LOZ. Respectfully submitted, Mrs. H. FAIRFIELD OSBORN, Chairman. REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF THE ZOOLOGICAL PARK TO THE BOARD OF MANAGERS. HE year 1921 was marked by the erection of the building for the National Collection of Heads and Horns, and the largest attendance of visitors that the Park ever has known. To a great extent the animal collections remained in a stabilized condition, varied chiefly by the elimination of a number of aged and infirm specimens. Having been in existence since 1899, old age has be- come a prime factor in our herds of hoofed animals, and other collections. Every animal that is too aged and infirm to enjoy life or to present a satisfactory appearance on exhibition must ke painlessly removed. In past years our herd of American bison suffered a blow when fifteen fine breeding animals were taken out, literally by “special selection,’ and presented to the United States govern- ment for the founding of the Wichita National Herd. That was in 1907. In 1912 another blow was sustained when fourteen head were subtracted to form the nucleus of the Wind Cave Park National Bison Herd, in South Dakota. Now, those new national herds that were founded by our Park herd, have thriven, and proven exceedingly successful; but in 1921 we found our parent herd had not yet recovered from the second shock. We decided to bring in some new blood. At this juncture the United States Department of the Interior kindly elected to do the Society a return favor, and in the month of December dispatched to New York from the national herd in the Yellowstone Park, three fine young cow bison and a bull. This shipment, which included two female elk, was personally con- ducted to New York by B. C. Lacombe, of the Yellowstone Park force. The animals arrived in fine condition, and the gift is highly appreciated. The enterprise was arranged by Mr. Robert 66 NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY Sterling Yard, of the National Parks Service, and Mr. Horace M. Albright, Superintendent of the Yellowstone National Park, un- der the direction of the Secretary of the Interior, Hon. Albert Be Hall ATTENDANCE. The popularity of any institution that maintains exhibits for the public to see is definitely established by its annual at- tendance of visitors. The records for the past two years at the Zoological Park are as follows: 1921 1920 JanNuUaLye se et ee 120,305 47,024 Mebruanyecc-eeee 83,317 37,485 Mareh wicca ZA ae) 112,658 April <:.ceekeieahoen ire 242,168 187,748 MES -0i. 3 oe eee eee 433,027 366,024 UTE. ee See ee Beers 306,332 241,995 DAL Soe ace ea 316,633 299,409 Avuoust <9) aoe PH ote 259,831 September cease ae 237,936 288,666 October eee aes 192,767 239,941 Novemberse.-eiocs —- 81,758 92,096 December™ o> Golo 77,300 2,562,138 2,250,177 Increase during 1921, 311,961. MUSEUM OF HEADS AND HORNS. Early in 1916 it was found that the National Collection of Heads and Horns had increased to such fine proportions as to be worthy of a special building. The masses of Park visitors were known to be very anxious to see the specimens that had been eathered from all quarters of the globe, and the Society became desirous of placing them upon exhibition in a museum building of the most modern type. Recognizing the impossibility of securing from the city the funds necessary for a suitable building, the Society decided to TWENTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT 67 raise the amount by securing a few large subscriptions. In a short time the following subscriptions were obtained: Mrs. Frederick Ferris Thompson ... $10,000.00 Marcel Ssell sage ect oe ae eo 10,000.00 TOhneOeeNrCh Older: ne Saks. 10,000.00 DAICOM MEL OC MMi Beet et ewe bos bee. 10,000.00 Georvenkh spakers, sate tos dee ska wew x 10,000.00 NrsesAndnew 1Garnecviern as Pia 2 10,000.00 PME WalGaAbNneGie= sh ei tas en. arn 10,000.00 Hodniund C= Converse 7.5 ee). 2s. 10,000.00 Samuel Thorne (In Memoriam)...... 10,000.00 Geonven Daa raties i, ke chee ete ss 10,000.00 $100,000.00* For the erection of the building, Mr. Henry D. Whitfield was chosen as architect, and the Miller-Reed Company became the builders. The style is classic, and the materials are buff brick and Indiana limestone. The length of the building is 91 feet, its width is 56 feet, and its height, 33 feet, from basement floor to cornice. On the main floor are the two public exhibition halls, each 52 feet by 43 feet, designed for the two series of specimens —Zoological and Geographic—into which the collection is divided. The basement contains a great hall 52 x 42 feet, for a study collection of special duplicate exhibits, not regularly open to the public, but available to students and investigators. This fine building will be opened to the public about May 25, 1922, and the members of the Society will be afforded a private view during the annual Garden Party. THE PARK COLLECTIONS. During 1921, comparatively few new specimens arrived at the Park, for the reason that the collections were so well stocked that extensive accessions were not sought. The death list for the year seems about the same as usual, but in reality the actual losses in zoological and exhibition value were much lighter than *At this date (1921) the cost of the building will exceed the estimates of 1917 by $20,000, and this additional sum must be secured. ext Q a0 A fo] < ee) = < n val < =| < = TWENTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT 69 usual. Numerically, the death list was augmented by a number of aged and undesirable animals that were systematically elimi- nated. DEPARTMENT OF MAMMALS. W. T. Hornapay, Curator; R. L. Dirwars, Assistant Curator; Joun Toomey, Head Keeper. Among the more important purchases during the year were the following: one large orang-utan, 1 small orang-utan, 1 Colo- kus monkey, 1 moustache monkey, 1 Diana monkey, 1 woolly monkey, 1 Barkary ‘ape’’, 1 lon-headed marmoset, male and female musk-ox, 2 pairs of Rocky Mountain sheep, 1 pair of Rocky Mountain goats, 1 pair of anoas, or Celebes pygmy kuffalo, female kudu, 1 mule deer (male), 2 grizzly bear cubs from Alaska, 2 klack leopards, 1 Malayan leopard, 1 striped-tailed dog, 1 Florida otter, 2 grison, 1 fisher, 1 brush-tailed porcupine, 1 alkino gray squirrel, 5 Prevost’s squirrels, 1 capybara, 2 albino Canadian porcupines, 2 great ant-eaters, 1 9-banded armadillo and 6 flying phalangerss. Among the more important gifts were one male and three female bison, from the Yellowstone National Park, gift of the United States Government; 1 black bear from Anticosti Island, St. Lawrence River, gift of Senator Gaston Menier, Paris; 1 jaguar cub, 1 leopard cub, 1 Malayan squirrel and 1 Mexican fire-bellied squirrel. All the gifts for the year are listed in de- tail, with names of donors, on other pages of this volume. An interesting specimen on exhibition during 1921, was the young western lynx presented to Marshal Ferdinand Foch. The donation was made in the West and the animal brought to New York on the special train carrying the Marshal and his party. It was deposited in the Park on Novemker 16 and placed on exhibition in the Small Mammal House. When Marshal Foch sailed for France, akout six weeks later, the cat was provided with a specially built cage and delivered at the steamer. The following were the births in the Park during 1921: 1 Baby Chimpanzee 4 Barasingha Deer 2 Mongoose Lemurs 3 Axis Deer 1 Woodward Kangaroo 2 Malay Sambar Deer 2 Grizzly Bears 2 Red Deer 70 NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY 2 Russian Brown Bears 3 White-Tailed Deer 20 Prairie “Dogs” (esti- 1 Sika Deer mated) 2 YAKS 5 Fallow Deer 2 Aoudad 4 American Wapiti 4 Himalayan Tahr 1 Bison 1 Mouflon 2 Rocky Mountain Sheep 1 Pygmy Hippopotamus 1 Grant Zebra Among the deaths for the year were the following: Man- drill (valvular heart trouble) ; Siberian tiger (old age) ; Bengal tiger (hemmorhagic condition); lioness (rheumatic condition from age—painlessly destroyed); Syrian bear (old age, on exhibition over twenty years) ; female giraffe, on deposit (heart trouble from date of arrival). We mercifully destroyed several very aged bison and deer. Among other losses were a warthog, Rocky Mountain goat, Rocky Mountain sheep lambs, a great ant-eater, and a male anoa. We regard the pygmy buffalo or anoa as our most serious loss. As has been our custom during past years, we deposited the usual series of small mammals and birds at the Zoological Room of the Washington Irving High School, and kept in close touch with it through regular inspections by one of our keepers. These animals are returned to the Park during the vacation period. A census of the collection of mammals compiled on January 1, 1922, is as follows: Species Specimens Marsipialia ee ic niger homer a eine 18 57 Bdentatats tc exten ee Re eee 2 2 Carniviondacs Seen oon te ee eke 43 99 Pinnipediars ica. eo ae eer 1 2 Od entia s.7 ec ek eee ease ke eer 26 160 Primates: 22:4 sosc sae ee eee 33 67 Artiodactyla (Even-toed Ungulates). 48 215 Perissodactyla (Odd-toed Ungulates) 12 19 Proboscidéa 2 eee ie ee 2 2 TWENTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT 71 DEPARTMENT OF BIRDS. LEE S. CRANDALL, Curator; WiLLIAM Brrse, Honorary Curator; SAMUEL StTAcEy, Head Keeper. During 1921, a special effort was made to secure additions to our bird collections, through our own channels, with the feel- ing that once that crucial year had passed, the open market would have regained its normal condition. This was not the case, however, dealers’ arrivals in 1921 having been fewer than in any other year since the close of the war. This fact, coupled with the lack of large private consignments, such as characterized the previous year, caused a small total of bird arrivals at the Zoological Park during 1921. While the collection remains rich in rarities, perhaps more so than at any previous time in its history, there is a lack of the small and inconspicuous species which go to make up the bulk of every large collection. Our own resources for supply must again be called into action in 1922, and steps to this end already have been taken. Only two important dealers’ consignments reached New York during the year. One of these, on May 9, from the Orient, contained a number of Asiatic and East Indian species not pre- viously imported for some years. The second, from Africa, in- cluded several Ethiopian species of the same character. With the latter shipment came a concave-casqued hornbill (Dicho- ceros bicornis), an Indian species. This was a young half-grown bird, which is developing rapidly into an excellent specimen. On September 10, Mr. Kenyon V. Painter presented the So- ciety with an unusually fine South African ground hornbill (Bucorax cafer). In October, we secured by purchase our first specimen of the rhinoceros hornbill (Buceros rhinoceros), a strong and healthy young bird. We thus possess three of the finest forms of this interesting group, and with the several smaller species already in the collection, we can exhibit an un- usually good series of hornbills. Early in June, through the friendly cooperation of Mr. Louis Ruhe, we received from Mr. F. E. Blaauw, the famous Dutch aviculturist, a notable shipment of rare waterfowl, including pairs of ashy-headed and ruddy-headed upland geese (Chloephaga poliocephala and C. rubidiceps) ; a pair of African spotted ducks (Anas sparsa) ; a male Hawaiian goose (Nesochen sandvicensis) and four young trumpeter swans. The Hawaiian goose is ex- iy NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY ceedingly rare and very close to extinction. Mr. Blaauw’s bird came as a welcome mate for a female secured by exchange dur- ing the previous month. The trumpeter swan, the finer of our two native species, is so nearly extinct that the acquisition of four healthy, captivity-bred young birds is an event of first importance. In July, the Society sent to the Jardin des Plantes, in Paris, a gift of twenty-seven birds, representing fifteen species. This shipment was taken in charge by officials of the French Line and reached Paris in good condition. No new installations were provided during the year, but many much-needed repairs were made to existing structures. A large drainage pipe was laid in cement along the bottom of the Wild Fowl Pond, designed to receive rain-water washings from the southern end of the Park, which formerly ran directly into the pond. It is believed that this improvement will end the out- breaks of duck cholera which have occurred there periodically. Keeper Henry Barlack, of this Department, was pensioned on December 15, because of disability. Keeper Barlack entered the employ of the Zoological Society in 1903, and served it faith- fully for more than eighteen years. He is the first of our corps of keepers to receive the benefit of our Pension Fund. The distribution of anatomical and museum material was carried on by the curator, a total of 285 specimens being assigned to various institutions during the year.

DEPARTMENT OF REPTILES. taAymMonD L. Dirmars, Curator; Joun Toomey, Head Keeper. A review of the year’s work reveals uniformly good condi- tions in the department. Gaps in the collection have been quickly filled, species new to the collection have arrived, and frequent attention to various details has kept the Reptile House at a high standard of interest and exhibition value. As is usual in the spring, the Curator made a number of collecting trips that covered the Ramapo region, Westchester County and the south- ern Berkshires. Many specimens representing considerable value were brought in, at no expense to the Society. Among them were rattlesnakes, copperhead snakes and specimens repre- senting the various species of harmless serpents for the exhibit of local reptiles. A sufficiently large number of the venomous serpents was captured to enable us to make important exchanges. The most valuable of these was with the Zoological Society of London, which sent us a series of reptiles, chiefly African, to the value of several hundred dollars. Another exchange related to the renewal of our supply of anti-venomous serums for snake TWENTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT 75 bites. Our Reptile Department is now generally regarded throughout the eastern United States as a centre for the dis- tribution of serum and general advice in all accidents of this type. In the distribution of serum, the Curator has done con- siderable work in ascertaining locations of danger to large masses of campers, and in such areas to place tubes of the serum with local physicians. He has also, without expense to the So- ciety, prepared a booklet, showing photographs of dangerous reptiles, and containing descriptions both of these and of the harmless and useful snakes. This booklet gives clear and full advice of the treatment that should follow the bite of a poisonous serpent. Several hundred of these booklets have been dis- tributed. The matter of cooperation with scientific institutions is an important one with the Reptile Department. During the present year this has related to the preservation of embryological ma- terial, the answering of queries involving elaborate details, and the extraction of snake venoms. A large number of students and experimental workers have personally visited the depart- ment and every possible assistance has been extended. The Curator personally prepared a series of motion pictures for the annual meeting of the Society, showing the large series of albino specimens now or recently on exhibition, new reptiles, including the cobras, and detailed scenes showing the construc- tion of the Heads and Horns Museum. Among the important arrivals during the year were a large Florida crocodile,—over eleven feet in length,—which is now thriving. In June, the Curator went to San Francisco and there purchased a number of mammals and reptiles. Among the latter were a particularly fine black-tailed python and a regal python, each slightly over twenty feet in length. Thanks to the gen- erous and diligent cooperation of the officers of the railways con- cerned, these specimens were brought east as baggage, thus making the journey in four days and arriving at the Park in perfect condition. A cable message was dispatched from San Francisco, arranging the purchase (in Singapore) of a huge king cobra—the first specimen of the kind that we had secured in a number of years. TWENTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT LL The king cobra arrived in September and is over eleven feet in length, possibly the largest specimen of this formidable and exceptionally interesting reptile that ever has reached the United States. Arriving in a smooth, teakwood case, it had been unable to shed its skin and was encased in a brittle integument. A warm bath removed the skin from the body, but considerable difficulty was experienced in removing the skin over the head, the presence of which rendered this valuable specimen absolutely blind. By covering it with a large net, on an iron ring, we finally entered the cage and with surgical tweezers, operated through the mesh of the net, removing the head covering. This serpent is now in wonderful condition and has attracted great in- terest. With the king cobra, came cases containing three speci- mens of the smaller Indian cobra, the first we have received in fourteen years, when an individual arrived at the Park. The latter specimen is still in thriving condition. CENSUS OF REPTILES. January 1, 1922.

W. Rem Burair, D. V. S. There were 182 deaths among the mammals during the year. Of this number 102 occurred among the small mammals; 34 among hoofed animals, and 40 among the primates. Of the losses occurring among the hoofed animals, gastro- enteritis was the principle cause of death. These occurred prin- cipally among the American bison, mountain sheep and goats. Several cases of botulinus intoxication, due to B. botulinus, have occurred among the hoofed animals, affecting a Spanish ibex, Rocky Mountain goat and an anoa. Such cases are in- variably fatal, and simulate forage poisoning, both in sympto- matology and pathological anatomy. A young camel was lost as a result of a bad infection of parasitic dysentery, due to the true whipworm. Owing to the position of the parasites and the extensive area of intestinal canal in the camel, medicinal agents rarely reach these parasites in sufficient strength to combat the infection. Chronic malnutrition and emaciation, incidental to old age, carried off a number of our oldest exhibits. Among these were a Malay sambar deer, Barasingha deer, horse-tailed gnu, and American bison. As in previous years, a considerable number of aged, poorly nourished or under-developed animals were destroyed as soon as they reached a stage where they were no longer satisfactory exhibits. Among these were an old lioness, a number of monkeys, American elk and red deer. Pneumonia was the cause of death in a number of cases among the carnivores; among these were a Siberian tiger and Bengal tiger, both of which had been on exhibition about ten years. For the most part the animals in the Primate collection remained in good health throughout the year. The important losses in this collection were a young orang, recently purchased, and the baby chimpanzee born to “Suzette,” which lived but nine days, death being due to neglect and improper maternal care of the parent, as she evidently lacked the maternal instinct. 80 NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY Osteomalacia.—There were no cases of osteomalacia among the Primates during the year. Of the cases of rickets en- countered, they were all in recently acquired animals, invariably received as gifts, and which in captivity had not received a balanced diet. Often these cases showed an immediate improve- ment when supplied with proper food and care, and later made satisfactory exhibits. Distemper.—Several cases of distemper occurred among our small carnivorous animals, such as foxes and coyotes, and was the cause of death in a considerable number of cases. The infec- tion was always introduced into our collections by new arrivals, which had successfully passed quarantine and apparently were free from the disease when placed on exhibition, but, neverthe- less, were carriers of the infection. As the keepers now are familiar with the early symptoms characteristic of distemper, and as they constantly are on the lookout for these symptoms in the new arrivals, we fortunately have been able to control and prevent the spread of this dreaded disease among our animals. Many of the cases have been iso- lated promptly in the early stages of the disease, and success- fully treated with “distemper serum.” “Distemper vaccine’”’ also has been used successfully as a prophylactic agent. This offers a considerable degree of protection to susceptible animals, but unfortunately does not eliminate them as carriers of the in- fection. Mange.—Several cases of diseases of the skin affecting our animals appeared during the year. These for the most part were nonparasitic, although more cases of sarcoptic mange were seen during the past year than before. While diseases of the skin are not usually of themselves fatal, they may so undermine an animal’s constitution that it becomes the victim of some other more serious disease. Sareoptic mange affected a number of the small mammals, such as opossums, raccoons, capybara, muskrats, and also two African leopards. Fortunately, nearly all of the affected ani- mals could be handled by the keepers, and after isolation, they were successfully treated. Owing to the rapidity and ease with which mange is spread among wild animals, its early diagnosis is of great importance. TWENTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT 81 Sarcoptic mange is due to a mite which bores into the skin, then burrows and lays a multitude of eggs that soon hatch out, the young parasites running over the surface of the skin to re- peat the process. The irritation gives rise to intense itching and inflammation, resulting in the formation of distinct pimples, surrounded by pointed vesicles. These vesicles rupture, exuding a liquid that condenses into a crust. The crusts mat the hair together into tufts, and through additions to the crusts, and the continuous scratching, induced by the intense itching, the hair is shed, leaving raw or encrusted areas. The animal soon presents a dirty, haggard appearance, eats little, and throws off a vile, musty odor. The diagnosis depends upon the character of the affected area, the intense itching, and by taking a scraping of skin be- neath the scab and examining the same under the microscope with an ordinary low power lens, when the parasites will be easily seen. Treatment of Mange.—Treatment consists of prompt and complete isolation and applications of balsam of Peru and Pear- son Creolin in raw linseed oil, or ‘“Mangoil’” prepared by the Abbott laboratories, consisting of sulphur and lime with the addition of several phenol compounds. These applications should be repeated every three days in order to destroy the freshly hatched mites. The cages and compartments which have contained mangy animals must be thoroughly disinfected after the animal’s re- moval, and before other animals have been placed in such com- partments. The nets used in catching mangy animals also should be disinfected, since by this means other animals have become infected. The nets can be disinfected by dipping them in a solu- tion of 10 per cent Creolin. Ring-worm was also another skin disease which was more prevalent than in former years. This is produced by a vegetable fungus and is not difficult to diagnose as the characteristic lesion consists of more or less circular, well-defined patches, from which the hair falls, and which are covered with a fine scurf. The treatment consists of liberal applications of tincture of iodine. “UdOqUueS “Y UIMIY Aq Yauss0z0y q quVH ONIYdS NVOIMAV Se Naas aa ae 8 —— TWENTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT 83 DEPARTMENT OF ADMINISTRATION. H. R. Mircneny, Chief Clerk and Manager of Privileges; WILLIAM MircHEeLn, Cashier. The appropriation of $282,400 granted by the city for the maintenance of the Park during 1921 would have been sufficient for the purpose if the savings made in certain budget items could have been utilized in other accounts where the allowances were insufficient for our requirements. Unfortunately, provi- sions for such transfer of funds was not allowed by the Board of Estimate and, as a result, there was a shortage of $2,401.51 which had to be made up by the Society, although savings of nearly $5,500 accrued in other accounts, chiefly salaries and forage and veterinary supplies, which were turned back to the city. The amount to be made up by the Society would have been very much larger except for receding prices during the latter part of the year on certain items of forage and veterinary sup- plies, of which we are large consumers. During the coming year, it does not seem possible that the Society will be able to avoid contributing a considerably larger amount toward Park maintenance. The amounts granted for some items in our appropriations are less than our known and irreducible obligations. Weare prepared to make rigid economies in every possible way not involving actually reducing the stand- ard that has been set by the Society for the maintenance of this institution and, if it is possible to make savings in any budget items, application will be made to the Board of Estimate for transfers to other accounts where funds are inadequate. Near the end of the year the question of a rather extensive revision of the funds and accounts of the Society was taken up and given considerable study by this office at the suggestion of officers of the Society. During recent years a number of new funds have been created from time to time that seemed to be justified by the circumstances until a revision and regrouping have become quite desirable. After a number of consultations with officers and members of the Executive Committee, it was decided to group the accounts under the following six funds: Group I, Maintenance Funds: Accounts covering the maintenance of the Park and Aquarium to be handled separately under this heading. 84 NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY Group II, Endowment Funds: Contributions to and investments in endowment ac- counts, the income from which is available for the gen- eral purposes of the Society, the income therefrom to be credited direct to the controlling account, the General Income Fund. Group III, Special Endowment Funds: All accounts the income from which is devoted to spe- cial purposes, as specified by the donors. Group IV, Special Funds: All accounts, other than endowments, devoted to spe- cial purposes. Group V, General Income Fund: The controlling fund, carrying expenditures grouped under suitable headings, such as administration ex- penses, membership expenses, transfers to special or other funds, accounts created by action of the Execu- tive Committee, and contributions of the Society toward maintenance of the Park and Aquarium and for the Pension Fund and other similar purposes. Group VI, Scientific and Research Fund: All accounts and expenditures in connection with the scientific and research activities of the Society. The Pension Fund Income Account statement is not included in this classification of accounts. It cannot properly be consid- ered as a Society account as funds therefrom are disposed of by action of the Pension Board in accordance with the provisions of the pension plan. With the approval of the Treasurer, the Treasurer’s state- ments for the year 1921 were ordered printed in this report in the foregoing form. In connection with this a list of securities owned by the Society grouped under funds or accounts to which they belong, a list giving the names and amounts contributed by all donors of five thousand dollars or more, as well as a complete memorandum of contributions or bequests making up the General Endowment Fund, has been prepared. It is believed that the TWENTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT 85 revision of accounts as detailed will intelligently and satisfac- torily take care of the Society’s present and future accounting needs. The certificate of Marwick, Mitchell & Co., covering the usual audit for the year, conducted quarterly, appears imme- diately following the Treasurer’s statements. Privileges.—Although business generally in practically all lines suffered severely during the last half of 1921, our season was somewhat better than in the previous year in nearly all branches of the privileges. The net results were in excess of last year’s figures, due very largely to the material increase in attendance which was more than three hundred thousand above 1920, or a total of more than two and one-half million. Attention is called to the urgent necessity for some improve- ments and replacements in buildings and equipment in connec- tion with the operation of the privileges. Due to the high cost of replacement, only limited sums have been put into renewal of equipment, repairs to buildings or privilege improvements and bketterments since 1914. The result is that some matters cannot be delayed longer without seriously affecting the service. The following improvements are suggested as a definite program for the coming season and immediate future: Boat House: Removal of wooden steps now in a dangerous condi- tion, leading from the Boat House to dock and rebuild- ing in a permanent manner of stone and concrete. Addition of service baleony over south end of the dock and extension of kitchen service hours during the sum- mer season. Replacing of present dilapidated wooden walk at the north end of the dock with a permanent concrete struc- ture. Removal of the temporary wooden steps forming ap- proach to the south end of the dock and their recon- struction in stone built into the bank at this point. Soda Stands: Re-shingling of the shelter pavilion at the Fox Dens should be completed, gutters repaired, and the planting around the north end thinned and trimmed. *uzoqueg “y uIM[A Aq Yders0j04g STOOHOS OITHNd AHL AO ANO WOU SSVTO TWENTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT 87 A new soda stand is imperatively needed at the present location in front of the Reptile House. The existing stand is an open, frame structure built twenty years ago when the attendance was one-fifth what it is today. The fountain equipment was installed fifteen years ago and has for several years been in an almost unusable condition. A small but substantial and artistic building should be erected at this location to afford proper pro- tection for the equipment required to give suitable ser- vice now and in the future. A concrete platform around the stand at the Bear Dens to replace the wooden one that has now been entirely destroyed and removed. Riding Animals: Removal of the riding animal business from its present location on the Service Road near the Bird House to a more suitable place where it can be handled so as not to interfere in any way with foot traffic on existing walks or roads. Heretofore, provisions for the handling of Park privileges have been made more or less hastily to meet the pressing de- mands of rapidly increasing attendance, and often have been of a temporary or inadequate nature. We now must look forward to an annual attendance of three millions within two or three years, and perhaps four or five millions in ten or twelve years. With these constantly increasing demands for service, replace- ments as they become necessary should be of the most substan- tial character, setting the standard for privilege purposes among the parks of the country. Rocking Stone Restaurant:—The gross business and the class of service rendered at the Rocking Stone Restaurant showed an improvement over the previous year. Our experiment of trying to reduce expenses during the winter of the previous year by operating without the services of a chef was not satis- factory. The gain that is made in winter operation seems to be lost in finding the right man and in getting things running smoothly before the busy part of the season. The loss of last year was converted into a modest profit. 88 NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY Boating :—The volume of the boating business was excellent but did not show a material increase over 1920, which was a record season. A very large numker of patrons were handled with uniform satisfaction and without a single accident suffi- ciently important to be worthy of note. A thorough overhaul- ing of the equipment was carried on during the winter months. It was found necessary to discard some of the steel boats that were not worth repairing and, following the practice of several years, a carload of new koats was ordered for delivery next season. Boat House Restaurant:—The operation of this privileve again showed a loss which had to ke korne by the more profitable boating feature. Late in 1921, Boston Road for the first time Was given a real paving of asphalt on a concrete base, from Pel- ham Parkway to 182nd Street. This portion of Boston Road has not been in good repair for some time and its condition has diverted traffic elsewhere. It is hoped that the new roadway will send considerable travel south from Pelham Parkway and that this, with the improvements at the Boat House recom- mended elsewhere, will add very materially to the business dur- ing the coming season. Soda Water:—This division of the privileges made an ex- cellent showing as compared with the previous year, due to a considerable extent to the new fountain installed and other im- provements that were made at the Tea House early in the season. The new equipment, which was carefully planned to meet the needs of this location, is of the very best construction, compar- ing favorably with the high-class fountains found anywhere, and has made it possible to greatly improve the service. The in- stallation of permanent equipment and general improvements in other locations must ke continued during the coming year along the lines recommended earlier in this report, if we are to be ina position to give the kind of service that should ke given. Guide Books :—The edition of the Guide Book placed on sale early in 1921 could not be profitably sold at the old figure, and it was necessary to make the price fifty cents. While the sales were not quite equal to the record year of 1920, they did not fall much below it. At the close of the year there were so few left of the 1921 edition as to make it necessary to consider a new issue early in 1922. It is hoped that we can make consid- TWENTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT 89 erable improvement in the general appearance and quality of the forthcoming edition, although it is not probable that any reduc- tion can be made in the price. Souvenir Books, Postals and Miscellaneous Publications :— The revised edition of the Souvenir Book that came out early in the year had to be priced at seventy-five cents, somewhat reducing the output. Under the circumstances, the showing made between the date it appeared and the end of the year was excellent. Postal card sales were very large throughout the year and the stock on hand was greatly reduced. A new edition of the “Wild Animal Stamp Primer” was put on sale at the beginning of our business season, and the results showed that there has keen no decrease in its popularity as a children’s book. During 1921, a revised edition of Mr. Crandall’s book, “Pets: Their History and Care,” originally published by Henry Holt and Co., was issued by this department under the title “Pets and How to Care for Them.” The new edition appeared late in the year and is meeting with a satisfactory sale. Gate Receipts:—The receipts from this source in the nast year amounted to $17,059.80, a very substantial gain over 1920, which was a record amount for admissions on paydays. In ac- cordance with the Society’s policy for several years past, the entire amount was credited to the Improvement and Repair Ac- count to be used for urgent general repairs and replacements that could not be provided for from maintenance funds. Expen- ditures from the Improvement and Repair Account for these purposes in 1921 reached the sum of $25,463.77. Riding Animals:—This business is becoming increasingly more difficult to handle properly in its present location. It has long since completely outgrown the place originally provided when the number of children handled was only a small portion of the numker handled last season. This section of the Park is greatly congested by the large number of visitors passing be- tween Fordham Entrance and Baird Court in addition to those desiring to reach the many popular exhibits in that immediate location. The present arrangements for handling the large num- ber of small children that must be handled in its operation, with the greatest possible degree of safety, are no longer adequate. 90) NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY A relocation, where it can be carried on without interference with any walks that ought to be reserved entirely for visitors, should have careful consideration before another season. Motor Chairs and Baby Carriages:—During the year we undertook to furnish a new service to visitors, the rental of motor chairs and baby carriages. This baby carriage service has long been needed by parents with small children. A nominal charge of twenty-five cents for three hours is made and, if the combined service is self-sustaining, we shall consider the effort worth while. The wheel and motor chair service is a real benefit to invalids and elderly persons unable to walk the long distances necessary to see the Park. A central station is located near the Lion House, with sub-stations at the three principal entrances, where chairs can be obtained or left. DEPARTMENT OF FORESTRY AND CONSTRUCTION. HERMANN W. MerkKeEt, Chief Constructor and Forester; E. H. CosTain, Asst. Forester; MricHarL O’KErEFr, Head Gardener. From the point of general appearance and improvement in upkeep the past year can well be said to have been satisfactory, in spite of the cut in maintenance by the Board of Estimate and Apportionment. To quite an extent this condition was due to the fact that a great deal of labor was obtained without cost to the Park by ar- rangements made with the Association for the Improvement of the Condition of the Poor, and also with the American Red Cross and the Charity Organization Society. From these sources we obtained a total of 5,450 days labor by men lacking other employment and needing assistance. In return for subsistence wages they performed certain very ac- ceptable duties in the Zoological Park. The greatest number of useful men was sent by the Association for the Improvement of the Condition of the Poor, amounting to 2,601 days labor, distributed among 133 men. The American Red Cross furnished 2,117 days labor among 76 men, and the Charity Organization Society gave 732 days labor to 31 men. These men were employed under the general supervision of Mr. O’Keefe of the Park staff, and their work embraced such items as shovelling snow, felling and cutting up dead trees, cut- TWENTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT 9] ting up the wood from pruning operations, cleaning the ice for skating, weeding, mowing grass and raking leaves, and keeping the walks free from paper and refuse. A small proportion also worked on more permanent improvements, such as the laying of water pipes, etc. It is a certainty that the spick and span appearance of the Park during the last season was entirely due to this valuable help, for which our sincre thanks are due to Mr. Wm. H. Mat- thews, Director of the Association for the Improvement of the Condition of the Poor, with whom the various arrangements were made. The heavy routine maintenance work was taken care of by our own mechanics and laborers, and the fact that every repair and replacement of the last ten years has been done with better materials and along improved designs, is beginning to show re- sults. The substituting of concrete for wood and sheet metal alone is saving a considerable amount of repairs, and the removal of wooden walks and the substitution therefore of tar macadam has also accomplished much. The various items attended to during the year are of course, too numerous to mention, but it may be said that we are begin- ning to catch up on the general deterioration of the Park build- ings, fences and grounds, which was taking place. The nursery produced the usual number of bedding and decorative plants for our grounds and buildings. Some propa- gating of trees and shrubs was carried on. The usual amounts of live stock, such as chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs and rats, for food purposes, were bred and reared, and an especially large crop of mangels, cabbages, etc., was raised. The recreation grounds east of the Bronx River, were as popular as usual, the general attendance as well as those coming by special picnic permits, being very large. The policing of this section was taken care of as heretofore, the general flood of law- lessness increasing the number of summonses to 246, out of which number only 9 persons were acquitted. After close examination of the Reptile House roof, it was found that we were able to restore this roof into fairly good con- dition without tearing down any large portion of the structure. This was accomplished by supplying new copper gutters and cop- 92 NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY per flashing, and doing some reslating. The chimney of this building was in a dangerous condition and therefore the entire upper portion had to be taken down and rebuilt. To a somewhat lesser extent this was also done to the chim- ney of the Aquatic Bird House. IMPROVEMENT AND REPAIR ACCOUNT. The following items of improvements and repairs were made from this account during the year: Ostrich House. At the Ostrich House we had been troubled for years with lack of proper drainage, and with underground springs pouring in through the walls throughout the entire year. By means of drainage pipes properly located this water was intercepted before it reached the cellar, and connected under the cellar floor with the house drain-pipes. Bird House Cages Rat-Proofing. On account of the great damage done by rats in the glass court of the Large Bird House, a determined and apparently successful effort was made to rid the entire court of all possible hiding places of these pests. In this effort the inner ceiling lights and all of the wooden lining of the building were removed. All possible runways and hiding places were enclosed by steel or filled with cement. The framework of all of the steel cages was renewed and a great deal of sheet metal and wire netting was replaced. The court and its cages are now not only ratproof, but present a vastly better appearance than ever before, in addi- tion to which the maintenance cost of the court is greatly les- sened. Upper Bear Dens. The concrete floors of the upper Bear Dens which had sagged considerably, and on account of the many cracks and holes had become unsanitary, were removed and replaced with new and better ones. At the same time, the sleeping dens received new wooden floors and limings. Boston Road Comfort Station. At this station the lack of water pressure had been a great source of annoyance, and at times the shortage of water pro- TWENTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT 93 duced unsanitary conditions. Early in the year, therefore, a new connection was made with the main on E. 182nd St., and a new 3” main was brought to the building. At the same time the entire steel piping, which had become so badly corroded as to leave in- sufficient room for the passage of water, was replaced by pipes of a larger diameter and better material, in addition to which a new emergency storage tank, for breakdown service, was placed in the attic. Burrowing Rodents. A new design was made for the Burrowing Rodents cages and some of the material made ready for erection in 1922. Outside Lion Cages. The repairs and renewal of the outside Lion House Cages were continued throughout the open winter, and those cages were ready for occupancy early in the year. In this work con- crete gutters were substituted for the old leadlined copper gut- ters, which had gotten beyond the repairing stage. The brick- work at the base of the cages was taken down and relaid, and the fronts of the cagework generally had a complete overhauling. Outside Bird Cages. The outside cages of the Large Bird House on the east side were given similar treatment by renewing the floors, overhaul- ing the water supply and renewing the cage work. Wild Fowl Pond. The Wild Fowl! Pond, into which the drainage of the Small Deer yard and the corrals to the south formerly ran, was made more sanitary Fy intercepting this drainage by means of a 6” pipe and a proper sump, and by carrying it through the entire length of the pond and making connection with the sewer at the north end. Pygmy Hippo Tank. In the Elephant House an excellent permanent concrete tank was built for the Pygmy Hippos, giving these valuable and rare animals a properly heated and cleanable kathing pool. Storage Shed. The most notable addition furnished by this fund was a steel storage building for vehicles and machinery 40’ x 50’ in size. This is a substantial structure with 5 doors and sufficient 94 NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY windows, built entirely of steel without posts in its interior. It is roofed and sheathed with rust-resisting galvanized steel and is placed upon a concrete foundation in a most permanent man- ner. We now are able, for the first time since the opening of the Park, to house our vehicles adequately. Eagles’ Aviary. At the Eagles’ Aviary we continued to take down the rusted framework and replace structural steel filled with waterproof cement, until now only five more cages remain to be done. Walk Repairs. Of walk and road repairs we were able to resurface 16,000 sq. yds. and should be able to put every walk and road in the Park in condition in two more years if this program is continued two more years. West Outside Mammal Cages. The dilapidated condition of the west outside Mammal Cages made it imperative to tear them down and renew the entire structure from the bottom. At the end of the year we had re- placed the entire base, substituted concrete floors for the wooden floors in both the single and double deck cages, and had replaced all of the double cages. The rest of this work will be finished in time for use by the animals when warm weather approaches. Heads and Horns Museum Water Line. The building of the National Museum of Heads and Horns made it necessary to bring a water supply to the building, which was done by making connection with the main at the north end of the Primate House. Haymaking. By arrangement with the Department of Water Supply, we were able to cut the entire crop of hay at Hill View Reservoir at Yonkers, and by hiring outside help and using the motor trucks to do the hauling, about sixty tons of hay were cut and stacked at a great saving to the supply fund, though the dis- tance of the reservoir from the Park, and the many rainy days, made the operation rather difficult. Electrical Apparatus and Auto Trucks. Because the maintenance fund does not allow the employ- ment of sufficient mechanics to take care of the various electrical TWENTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT 95 apparatus of the Park and the lighting system, and to keep in repair our auto trucks, this work is being done out of the Im- provement and Repair Fund, the same as last year. Boiler Repairs. A large portion of the expense of the repairs to our heat- ing and water supply in the various buildings was paid for by this fund for the same reason. SUMMARY. The outlook for again placing our buildings and installa- tions in good condition is very much brighter than any time in the last five years, all due however to the diversion of the gate receipts from their prescribed purpose—the purchase of animals. I believe that with sufficient appropriations for the next three years, we can again place our Park and its installations on a proper basis, but to accomplish this some special funds for im- provements and repairs must come from the City. The water supply continues to be inadequate in many sec- tions of the Park, owing to the corrosion of the old wrought iron pipes, and all these pipes must be renewed, section by section, until it has all been done. This of course involves considerable expenditures. The brickwork on some of the older buildings, especially such exposed places as under the cages and on smokestacks, needs to be relaid. Many shingle roofs must be replaced with some more durable roofing material. The miles of fences that are subject to attack by animals as well as by rust, will need continuous repairs and replacements, but the strenuous work of the last two years is showing good results.

The year 1921 closed inauspiciously and filled with anxieties for the future financing of the Zoological Park’s expenditures. Through circumstances beyond our control we were not able to enjoy during 1921 the full benefit of our budget allowance for salaries, and a considerable amount of service was lost. Through these conditions a fund of about $2,500, representing unex- pended salary appropriations, accumulated to our credit at the end of the year. In addition to this, through the practice of TWENTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT 99 measures of economy in ways that became open to us, we were enabled to save considerable sums in the purchase of meat and hay for our animals. The former was effected through the killing of many horses instead of the purchase of beef, and the latter through the cutting and curing of a large quantity of hay in a public park. These two enterprises enabled us to save about $3,000 on our expense account, making with unexpended salaries, a total of about $5,500. At the same time, however, unexpected expenditures were called for in other directions, which had to be met. As in the previous year, we promptly (November, 1921) applied to the Board of Estimate for the privilege of transferring the unex- pended balances in salaries and feed and forage accounts to various other accounts that were in need of augmentation. Un- fortunately for us, this request was long postponed, and finally denied, and the $5,500 of our maintenance appropriation for 1921 went kack into the city treasury. The moneys that had been expended in maintenance in unprotected accounts had to be made good by the Zoological Society from its own treasury. In addition to the above loss, the Board of Estimate made a great reduction (about $13,000) in our appropriation for 1922, below the amount allowed us for 1921, besides which, no provi- sion was made for an attendant for the Heads and Horns build- ing in 1922. These losses of necessary funds are highly discouraging to the officers of the Zoological Park, and leave the Park’s finances in a very unsatisfactory state. Apparently we never will know what it is to have sufficient money for our legitimate needs. This is due partly to the fact that the Zoological Park was started on a scale of maintenance entirely too low and inadequate, and from this exasperating handicap there seems to be no prospect of relief. Respectfully submitted, WILLIAM T. HORNADAY, Director. Carnegie Institution of Washington NUTRITION LABORATORY Vila Street, Boston, Massachusetts April 29, 1921. PROFESSOR HENRY FAIRFIELD OSBORN, President, New York Zoological Society, New York City. My Dear Professor Osborn: As you are aware, the Nutrition Laboratory has been actively engaged in studying the metabolism, particularly the carbon-dioxide production and oxygen consumption, of various lower animals at the New York Zoological Park for the greater part of the past five years. During this time we have been in intimate association particularly with Mr. Raymond L. Ditmars and his associates, while this last year we have been identified with Mr. Crandall and his birds. For a number of reasons it is necessary for us to withdraw our ap- paratus and assistant from the Park on or about August Ist, next, and in thus coneluding essentially five years’ investigation, I wish to express to you the great appreciation that I feel with regard to the wholly extraordi- nary spirit of cooperation which has permeated the entire Park from its most efficient Director, Dr. Hornaday, down to the most recent keeper of animals. Every one has shown us the greatest courtesy and consideration possible. A more perfect spirit of cooperation could hardly be imagined. It is impossible at this date to give any hint as to the great scientific importance of the results thus far obtained. They will need a great deal of computing before ready for final analysis, but it is safe to say that no- where on the face of the earth has there been such an extensive study of cold-blooded animals, particularly serpents and probably birds, as we have been able to make, thanks to the cooperation of the staff of the New York Zoological Park. The fact that an institution of this kind makes possible a great edu- cational factor in natural history and zoology and, at the same time, makes it possible to contribute extensively to our knowledge of the physiology of the lower animals, is a most happy circumstance. This latter factor is only too frequently overlooked in the organization of large institutions like the Zoological Park, and hence I think it is especially to be commented on and accentuated. It is difficult to single out individuals, where so much courtesy has been shown us, but we have been especially favored by, and have had to draw very freely upon the time of Head Keeper Charles D. Snyder of the Reptile Department, and his successor in that position, John Toomey. En- tirely aside from the immediate assistance rendered in connection with the handling, transportation, and use of the several animals, I have been in constant communication with Mr. Ditmars regarding all matters pertaining to the natural history of the animals we have been working with, and I have found him wonderfully conversant with their life and characteristics. It is needless to say that without Dr. Hornaday’s sympathetic and wholly exceptional scientific appreciation of work of this kind we could not have carried out our investigations as long as we have and not worn out our wel- come. It is only with the greatest regret that we withdraw from the Park at the completion of this year’s work. I am, Very truly yours, FRANCIS G.

HE personnel of the Pension Board for 1921 remained the same as that of the previous year with the exception of the appointment of Mr. W. Osgood Field in place of Mr. Wm. Woodward, and Dr. W. Reid Blair in place of Mr. R. L. Ditmars. Mr. Wm. Pierson Hamilton continued as Chairman and Mr. H. W. Merkel as Secretary, Mr. H. R. Mitchell as Assistant Treasurer, and with Mr. Percy R. Pyne, Dr. Lewis R. Morris, Dr. Geo. Bird Grinnell, Dr. W. Reid Blair, Mr. W. Osgood Field and Dr. Chas. H. Townsend constituted the Board. The details of bookkeeping and pension deductions con- tinued in charge of Mr. W. I. Mitchell. The meetings of the Pension Board were held at the office of Mr. Wm. Pierson Hamilton, at 23 Wall St., who extended to the Board the same courtesies in the use of his office as in pre- vious years. Despite the increasing number of pensioners, the Board is able to report that the Pension Fund Income Account continues to increase, the funds available at the close of the year being $77,888.99 as against $67,464.39, at the end of 1920; an increase of $10,424.60. Again, during the past year, the assessment of 2 per cent of the salaries of the members of the Pension Fund has been more than sufficient to cover the pension roll. There were at the end of the year thirteen pensioners on the roll, requiring an annual expenditure of $4,510.64. Four pensions were granted during the year to the follow- ing persons: Josephine De Nyse, widow of W. I. De Nyse. .$28.47 per mo. Mrs. Nellie McNulta, incapacitated for service. 25.00 per mo. Wm. H. Hollingen, incapacitated for service.. 28.50 per mo. Henry F. Barlach, incapacitated for service.. 33.35 per mo. 104 NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY Two persons receiving pensions died, Mary Smith, widow of John Smith, who received a pension of $20.00 per month, and Mrs. Nellie McNulta, who received a pension of $25.00 per month. A declining insurance amounting to $604.52 was paid to Helen McNulta, the beneficiary of the above Mrs. McNulta. Only one employee who was a member of the Pension Fund resigned during the year, obtaining a refund of dues of $31.75 and relieving the Fund of fifteen months of accumulated services, while during the previous year there were thirteen resignations. There were admitted during the year seven new members: Joseph Gallagher, Charles Divver, William A. Tucker, Charles Johnson, Charles M. Breder, Jr., Ruth Lawrence and William G. Rawlinson. Two applicants were rejected on account of their inability to pass the doctor’s examination. On Dec. 31, 1921, the membership of the Fund consisted of 125 persons, an increase of three over 1920. The continued increase in the funds available for pensions through larger returns from invested funds, and the increase of these invested funds, show a gratifying and healthy condition and appear to prove that the entire scheme as now in force for seven and one-half years is fundamentally correct, and that the members of the Fund need have no fear as far as its future is concerned. The Treasurer’s statement is printed elsewhere in this Report. Respectfully submitted, HERMANN W. MERKEL, Secretary, Pension Board. WM. PIERSON HAMILTON, Chairman, Pension Board. TROPICAL RESEARCH STATION Kartabo, British Guiana REPORT FOR THE YEAR, 1921. By WILLIAM BEEBE STAFF (1922) WILLIAM BEEBE, Director; JOHN TEE-VAN, Assistant; Paut G. Howes, Research Associate; HENRY Srron, Research Assistant; ISABEL CooPER, Artist; Hrten Damroscu, Artist; RurH Ross, Artist. HE work of the Department of Tropical Research during the year 1921 may best be represented in calendar form. JANUARY 1 TO MARCH 15 During this period the expedition continued in the field, each member pursuing his or her particular line of research. Un- usual discoveries were made in the Director’s study of the syrinx of birds, for example that in certain decapitated birds every note can be reproduced by manipulation of the lungs and trachea. On February 12 an important trip was made to Kaieteur Falls, the party including Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt and four mem- bers of the Station’s staff. Many new and interesting specimens were collected and the ground thoroughly surveyed for the estab- lishment of a sub-station another year. The falls are the highest in the world, eight hundred and ten feet in all, about five times as high as Niagara. Upon return to Kartabo the regular ex- ploration and research was resumed. APRIL, MAY. The expedition returned to New York in April. Owing to a very serious fire on board the steamer at St. Kitts, the entire collections, instruments and equipment required a thorough over- hauling and repairing. The photographic negatives especially had to be removed from their envelopes and washed, and the microscope boxes reconstructed. The collection of live animals brought to the Zoological Park included crested curassow, South American rattlesnake, boa, 106 NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY giant ant-eater, capuchin monkey and caiman. The most not- able was a young red howling monkey, George by name, the first ever brought up successfully and established in the collections of the Zoological Society. Some of the members of the expedition are widely scattered. Prof. J. F. M. Floyd returned to his department in the Univer- sity of Glasgow; Dr. Alfred Emerson now holds the position of Assistant Professor in the University of Pittsburgh, and Clifford Pope is engaged in herpetological work in central China on the American Museum Asiatic Expedition. MAY. An elaborate exhibit of the artistic work was held in the Administration Building on the occasion of the Annual Garden Party of the Zoological Society. This included several hundred paintings by Isabel Cooper, photographs and drawings, a collec- tion of Indian bead aprons, and a selection of the more interesting new or rare species of mammals, birds and insects. MAY TO DECEMBER. During this period the Director completed the manuscript and proof of Volume III of the Pheasant Monograph, and com- pletely finished the manuscript of Volume IV. The entire British Guiana collections were catalogued, index files established, and much of the vast quantity of material ar- ranged and correlated ready for publication after another sea- son’s accretions. Several weeks were devoted to perfecting a new method of hand-colored lithography, which will be put into operation next year in issuing a series of one hundred large colored plates to- gether with life histories. OCTOBER TO DECEMBER. In aid of publicity, the Director gave about twenty-five lec- tures in various cities, dealing with the work and activities of the Tropical Research Station. Addresses were also made before the Annual Dinner of the New York Academy of Sciences, the American Geographical Society and the Annual Meeting of the Board of Managers of the New York Zoological Society.

HE close of the year 1921 finds the Aquarium well advanced in the improvements undertaken by the New York Zoologi- cal Society with its private funds. The front basement has been deepened, water-proofed, lined with white tiles and provided with light and ventilation by new basement windows. Three low-pressure boilers have been installed and are in use, while electrically-driven rotary pumps have been installed and in part tested. The front basement has thus been transformed into a modern heating and pumping plant. By the end of January, 1922, the use of the old heating and steam-pumping plant at the rear of the building can be discon- tinued. The space occupied by it can then be cleared of ma- chinery and made available for additional exhibition tanks. This will permit of an increase of twenty per cent. in exhibition space and will constitute an improvement long desired, but hitherto unattainable. Following the improvements made by the Zoological So- ciety, the city, in the last week of the year, made provision for a third story on the front of the building above the present office section. This will provide additional space for adminis- trative purposes, an improvement that has long been needed. The demands made by the public upon the Aquarium as a city museum, increase from year to year and cannot be met without the facilities common to such institutions. A public aquarium as large and well known as the New York Aquarium cannot escape the multifarious services demanded of it. The sight- seeing public, always swarming into the building in great num- bers, is by no means the only class of persons making use of the Aquarium; there are school teachers with their pupils asking expert guidance; educational institutions both in and out of the city, requesting special information; public schools begging sea- Nn nn EEE = é = = a 7 = — = —= Inof }xeu ey], “ourlid uInnseA pue 10sseidulos Iie a1¥ Fo, 94} 4e Sduind OM} sy, “SUl9}8AS Sul}e[IQUeA pue ZulIjesreSiazar oyy JO uoIyWe10do eu} UL pasn yey} Jdeoxe “IayeBM 4[BS PUB YSaIF FO UOLZB[NIAID 94} Y}IM PI}DIUUOD ATIUIYORUL OY} [[B SULEJUOD UIOOA paze[IQUGA PUB poz YSII-][OM Spy, WOIYVNOV AHL LV WOOU dNNd OINLOATA MAN AHL AO MATA TVYANAD TWENTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT LS shore forms of life for class work, or the help of an expert in setting up school room aquaria; biologists seeking marine labora- tory material or advice as to where it may be obtained; com- mercial fishermen in search of information; sportsmen-anglers with specimens from distant waters to be identified; and a corre- spondence from states far and near with persons both lettered and unlettered. While the institution with its living aquatic exhibits may be called an aquarium, its relations with the people of the city and the country at large are those of a museum of natural his- tory and a widely known one at that. The Aquarium faces the same demand for special publications pertaining to its work that other museums do, and its distribution of such already extends far and wide. With these facts in view, it will be seen that the improve- ments effected during the past year, with those to be made dur- ing the coming year, are merely such as the Aquarium actually needs for the day’s work. The sight-seeing public will care little about the improvement of the mechanical department, but it will appreciate the increase to be made in the exhibits. When the third story, with its increased office facilities and biological laboratory is ready for occupancy, that section of the public making its appeals to the Aquarium as an educational and scien- tific institution will be better served than hitherto has been pos- sible. The New Electric Pumping Plant.—This splendid equip- ment consists of rotary pumps for the circulation of stored sea water through all tanks containing marine species of fishes; the circulation of harbor water through large floor pools not con- nected with the reservoir; the circulation of refrigerated fresh water in summer; pumps for emergency use when water pres- sure is low in the City mains, and vacuum pumps for the return of exhaust steam to the boilers for reheating. All of these pumps are in duplicate as safeguards against temporary breakdowns. In addition to these, the following-named single electric equip- ments have been installed; air compressor, vacuum pump, ther- mostatic control pump, ammonia compressor, motor-driven fan for air circulation, and sump pump to guard against flooding of the pump room. The New Heating Plant.—This installation has been in use since October 24. There are three low-pressure boilers to fur- ONE OF THE FOUR PUMPS USED IN CIRCULATING SALT WATER This electrically driven rotary pump, and three others exactly like it, have ends made of rust proof, admiralty bronze. Four additional pumps used in circulating fresh water are of similar size and pattern but lack the bronze water ends. Photograph by Elwin R. Sanborn.

They require attention only at the commence- ment of each eight-hour watch, the fireman then being available for other work about the building. In summer the heating plant ean be shut down, while between seasons it can be operated with one boiler. The work of operation, in both furnace and pump rooms, has been greatly lightened. The force on each eight- hour watch can hereafter be utilized part of the time for plumb- ing, cleaning and general repair work. Additional Exhibition Tanks.—The removal of the old heat- ing and pumping plant, soon to be abandoned, will make avail- able much space for new exhibits. It is planned to clear the passage between the old boiler and pump rooms, and make it a point of exit, thus relieving the entrance passage of much crowd- ing. On either side of the exit there will be a glass-fronted tank of larger size than any now in the building, both extending to the present fresh and salt water lines of tanks. The space above will also be cleared of machinery and added to the lines of tanks occupying the balcony. This space will be prepared for special exhibits not hitherto maintained for lack of proper equipment, chiefly the smaller and more delicate forms of fresh- water life. New Third Story.—On December 28, the city provided funds amounting to $86,000 for the construction and equipment of a third story at the front of the building above the present office section. This will give the Aquarium facilities for adminis- tration which it now lacks, providing office, library, laboratory, photographic room, lavatories, feed room, repair shop, tool room and storage for supplies and publications. Plans for this addi- tion have already been prepared by the architects. It is believed that the improvements now provided for, can be completed dur- ing the coming year. The Collections.—The glass-fronted exhibition tanks en- circling the main floor and balcony of the Aquarium measure 455 linear feet. Those on the main floor, with four exceptions, are from eight to seventeen feet in length, with a depth back from the glass of eleven feet. All are of brick or re-enforced concrete. The tanks in the balcony series are of wood with cement lining. They measure three and a half feet to five and a half feet, with a depth back from the glass of two feet, ten inches. When the glass-fronted tanks are installed in the space 120 NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY to be vaeated by the steam pumping and heating plant, the total linear measurement of glass fronts should be 511 feet. It is in the glass-fronted tanks that the collections of the Aquarium are chiefly maintained, the seven large floor pools, being devoted to seals, sea lions, alligators, sea turtles, fresh- water turtles and other lung breathers. The exhibits of the Aquarium at present are not as large as they were a year ago for the reason that in view of the great changes being made in the water system during the sum- mer and autumn, it was thought inadvisable to stock the tanks as heavily as usual. When the alterations now in progress are completed it will be possible not only to restore the exhibits to their usual numbers but greatly to increase them. The collection of fishes now numbers 3011 specimens and 115 species. Aquatic reptiles number 114 specimens and 14 species. Amphibians 39 specimens and 6 species, invertebrates 1020 specimens and 14 species, and mammals 4 specimens and 2 species. The total number of specimens is 4188, and of species 151. The collection of amphibians, reptiles and tropical fresh- water fishes will be larger and more varied than heretofore, with the completion of better facilities for keeping them. In July an addition of 515 specimens representing 42 species was made to the collection of tropical fishes from Florida; and in August a further addition of 201 specimens and 47 species. The August shipment was made in co-operation with the Fair- mount Park Aquarium in Philadelphia, the latter taking two- thirds of the lot. The United States Bureau of Fisheries presented 229 speci- mens of large and small trout and salmon, seven species being represented. Among these were four graylings and a number of small albino trout. This collection being transported in July, during hot weather, suffered from the change and many were lost. It was ascertained later that while in Washington they had been kept in refrigerated water at a somewhat lower tem- perature than that usually maintained in the New York Aquar- ium, which is about 55° Fahr. An exchange was made with the Detroit Aquarium whereby 270 fresh-water fishes of 13 different species were brought to New York, i Ci Ms len TWENTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT 121 One of the California sea-lions gave birth to a pup on June 13, but after a few days refused to care for it. Although daily efforts were made to feed it, the young sea lion died on June 29. Mr. Ernest Napier, President of the New Jersey Fish and Game Commission, presented an alligator seven feet long on May 23. The United States Bureau of Fisheries has continued to supply eggs of food and game fishes from federal hatcheries, for the operation of the Aquarium’s fish hatchery. The species hatched during the year were lake, rainbow and black-spotted trout, land-locked and chinook salmon, pike-perch, whitefish and herring. The young fishes were delivered as usual, to the fishery boards of New York and New Jersey for distribution in public waters. Through the courtesy of the New Jersey Fish and Game Commission, the Aquarium secured on May 24, 809 fishes from Boonton Reservoir, consisting chiefly of yellow perch, pickerel, black bass, calico bass and sunfish. The Aquarium made an exchange with the Fairmount Park Aquarium in Philadelphia on November 23, securing 74 fishes of five different species. Employes of the Aquarium collected specimens of several of the smaller and commoner fresh-water fishes in lakes of the City parks. In October, Mr. E. K. Bruce of Thornburg, Iowa, presented 141 fancy goldfishes of several varieties—comets, fantails, shu- bunkins and straight-tails. Major Philip Benkard of New York presented a handsome table aquarium of large size. For one year, from the fall of 1920 to the fall of 1921, scales of whitefishes which have lived in the New York Aquarium since hatching in the Aquarium troughs in January 1913, were sup- plied for scientific study to biologists in Michigan and Canada. Scales were sent each month from specimens segregated for the purpose, and some interesting things discovered, not only with reference to scales, but, by checking up our findings with those of other observers, some important facts were ascertained re- garding the spawning age and probable longevity of the white- fish. Miss Mellen’s paper on the subject will be published in Zoologica. ‘ustoqueg “*y uIM[y Aq Ydeid0j,Oo4d GHHOVLLY YAMONS MUVHS HLIM MUVHS AGNVS TWENTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT 123 Owing to a mistake, a valve was opened on September 3, which resulted in flooding with salt water a tank containing eight large muskallunge. Before the cause of the trouble was discovered, six very large muskallunge had been killed. The Aquarium has been remarkably free from accidents of this kind, no such losses having occurred for several years. This accident is mentioned to show that the possibilities for trouble are always present where four separate water systems are operated in a single building. Fishes can endure hunger and some forms of neglect, but vitiation of the water supply is almost immediately fatal. A similar accident occurred in August, when several thousand eggs of black-spotted trout were lost through the turn- ing on of water from the City pipes at a temperature too high for trout or their eggs. The sea water heater which had been in use since 1911 was discovered to be in bad condition and was replaced with a new one in December at a cost of $170. During the installation of this heater in cold weather, the temperature of the stored sea water fell to 64° Fahr., causing the loss of thirty tropical fishes. The type of heater used for this purpose is a galvanized kitchen water heater, sixty inches long and sixteen inches in diameter, completely covered with chemical sheet lead one-eighth inch thick. It is fastened in the bottcm of a large wooden distrib- uting tank and heated with steam. This home-made heater was finally adopted after many years’ experience with heating coils of galvanized pipe, bronze and chemical lead, all of which failed to meet requirements. The galvanized pipe coil was rejected because of rapid corrosion, which threatened the color of the stored sea water. The bronze heater failed to resist the de- structive effect of sea water, and the chemical lead coil, other- wise satisfactory, did not long resist the action of the steam. Work of the well-boat Seahorse-—The Aquarium collecting boat was put in commission on May 28 and made weekly trips to Sandy Hook and Raritan bays until October 22, when it was hauled out for the winter. This sail- and power-boat, thirty- five feet in length, again proved its great usefulness to the Aquarium. Although the fishing trips were fewer and of shorter duration than in 1920, fifty-three species of local sea fishes rep- resented by 2264 specimens were placed on exhibition. Quanti- ties of invertebrates were also collected, both for exhibition and as fish food. Most of the trips were of less than forty-eight 124 NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY hours duration, and all collections were made within twenty miles of the Battery. The boat work was carried along chiefly by volunteers from the office as occasion offered, with but little interruption of the routine of the Aquarium. One important result of the work of the Seahorse was the establishment in two large tanks in the Aquarium of sharks accompanied by shark-suckers (Echeneis) and pilot fishes (Seriola). The habitual association of the two smaller species with the shark is here presented in living, moving groups, which constitute probably the most notable exhibit ever made in an aquarium. One of the shark-suckers has accompanied its shark for several months, attaching itself to any part of the shark’s body, sometimes riding on top of its head. The pilot fishes travel with the shark in characteristic manner. They evidently are at some disadvantage when in confinement, as the shark occa- sionally kills one of the group. All of these specimens were captured at Sandy Hook in lower New York Bay. Reservoir of Stored Sea Water.—There has been some loss of sea water during the past two years, that cannot be attributed to evaporation. Each of the four sections of the reservoir has been emptied in turn, tested and found water-tight. The pipe lines between the reservoir and the pumps show no leaks. Cer- tain exhibition tanks have been emptied and found tight. It is possible that there is some minute leak in the floor of one of the exhibition tanks, which will be difficult to locate. During the year two additions of pure sea water were made to the reservoir supply, the water being brought in a tank boat from points out- side Sandy Hook. The capacity of the reservoir is 100,000 gallons. On each trip of the well-boat Seahorse, pure sea water has been brought to the Aquarium in tanks carried on deck. The quantity thus added to the reservoir during the past summer amounts to approximately 2,635 gallons. Publications —The May and July numbers of the Zoological Society Bulletin, both of which were Aquarium numbers, were devoted entirely to the keeping of small fresh-water fishes, in- cluding exotic species bred by fish fanciers. These two numbers, both prepared by Miss Mellen, were soon sold out, when they were reissued as a pamphlet entitled Fishes in the Home, which is much in demand. The Zoological Society Bulletin for March, 1920, devoted entirely to the history of the Aquarium building, formerly BOWFIN OR MUDFISH Photograph by Elwin R Sanborn. 126 NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY known as Castle Garden, proved to be of decided interest to the public. The original edition is exhausted, but still being in de- mand, it will be reissued at an early date. The following Information Circulars, used in handling the correspondence of the Aquarium, were reprinted: No. 2. The Care of Goldfishes; No. 7. Notes on the Public Aquariums of Europe. Motion Pictures of the Northern Elephant Seal—The Aquarium has come into possession of the unique motion film made at Guadalupe Island in 1911, just after the rediscovery of the Northern Elephant Seal, a species long supposed to be ex- tinct. The elephant seal, largest of all seals, was rediscovered by the U. S. S. Albatross expedition, then engaged in deep sea in- vestigations in the Lower California region under the direction of C. H. Townsend. The large skins brought back, together with several young which were exhibited alive at the Aquarium, now compose the splendid group of this species in the American Museum of Natural History. The Zoological Society published Dr. Townsend’s photographs and descriptions of the animals as observed alive by him, the former being with one exception the only photographs ever made of the live seals. Acting on the recommendation of Dr. Townsend, a pro- ducer of motion pictures, Mr. Albert Blinkhorn, went in a small, chartered vessel, to Guadalupe Island, then uninhabited. The excellent film secured was shown at the New York Aquarium, and at the Brooklyn Museum, after which the owner went out of business and the film disappeared. After inquiries extending over several years, it was located in a film storage house in New York and the negative purchased for the Aquarium. The northern elephant seal (Mirounga angustirostris) has led a precarious existence for more than half a century, and is doomed to extinction, being totally without protection on its last outpost on desolate Guadalupe. When it finally disappears, the admirable pictures showing this great seal and its young, both in and out of water, will have a new interest and an added scientific value. Positives are being made from the negatives for such zoo- logical societies and natural history museums as may be dis- TWENTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT Lal posed to acquire them. The negative is about 470 feet in length. Terms may be had upon application to the director of the New York Aquarium. An illustrated account of the elephant seal, as observed at Guadalupe Island, can be obtained from the clerk of the Aquarium, at twenty-five cents a copy. Mr. C. M. Breder, Jr., scientific assistant, U. S. Bureau of Fisheries, was appointed aquarist on April 1, to fill a vacancy caused by the death of the late W. I. DeNyse, who had been in the service of the Aquarium since its inception. Mr. Breder contributed two papers to Zoologica (Scientific Contributions of the New York Zoological Society): The Life History of the Puffer (Spheroides maculatus), and Hermaphroditism in the Croaker (Micropogon undulatus), both being illustrated with drawings by the writer. The ta!l chimney of the Aquarium, having for some time been in need of attention, was repaired by the Department of Parks in August. A wooden balcony tank on the salt water side, which had become leaky through decay, was replaced, and three wooden reserve tanks, much needed, were constructed to fit vacant spaces on the fresh-water side. The cost of these improvments was S300: On April 19, the Prince of Monaco was given a private view of the Aquarium. Tea was served at five o’clock, and members of the Board of Managers of the Zoological Society were present. On June 16, the Director of the Aquarium attended a fish- eries conference at Washington, called by the Secretary of Com- merce to consider measures for the prevention and control of water pollution and the protection of migratory fishes. Attendance.—The attendance at the Aquarium during the year 1921 was 2,376.840, a daily average of 6,256. The increase, as compared with 1920, was 382,292.
