Spencer, who had been connected with the Aquar- ium in the capacity of Aquarist since May 1, 1894, died April 16, 1910, at the age of 73 years. NOTES On September 27, 1910, the American Fisheries Society held its Fortieth Anniversary Meeting at the Aquarium. The mem- bers lunched as the guests of the New York Zoological Society and again met at the Aquarium on September 29. At this meet- ing, which was the largest in the history of the Society, the sub- jects under discussion embraced practically every phase of fish- eries work. The Director and Assistant Director participated as members of the committee on arrangements and also presented papers. The New York Aquarium Society, a private organization composed chiefly of fish fanciers, held its First Annual Exhibi- tion at the New York Aquarium from November 19, to the 26. The collections exhibited consisted chiefly of fancy species of local and exotic fishes such as can be kept in small balanced aquaria. The exhibit was open to the public, and the public school teachers and their classes were especially invited. During the month of October, the Aquarium participated with other City departments in the Budget Exhibit, displaying such materials and data as were approved by the Director and the Chairman of the Executive Committee. The experiment of keeping the Aquarium open until ten o'clock at night was tried from September 22, until November 9, inclusive. The attendance was such as to show that the public appreciated the opportunity, and the experiment was only ter- minated when the condition of the funds rendered it necessary. It is recommended that the building be kept open in the evening during the warm months of 1911. Respectfully submitted, RAYMOND C. OSBURN. Assistant Director. January 1, 1911.
