THE IMPROVEMENT AND REPAIR FUND. Only two items were charged to this fund during the year. Lion House Cage-deck Roof.—The copper surfacing of the cage-deck of the Lion House, that has leaked for more than ten years despite the many repairs made upon it, was by expert roof- ers pronounced hopeless. This was due to the many obstruc- tions in the surface caused by the skylight and ventilators, which prevented the necessary expansion and contraction of the metal. For this reason a new bituminous roof surface was applied. The contract was awarded to the C. T. New Construction Co. The difficulties in obtaining materials, and the many demands of the Government upon the contractors, delayed the work to a certain extent. It finally was carried to a successful conclusion before the advent of bad weather, and for the first time since the building was erected, the Lion House has a thoroughly water- tight roof. New Boiler Installation in the Monkey House.—As the old boilers in this building had been gradually failing and needed to be replaced, it was determined to alter the location of one of them so as to bring it nearer the smokestack, instead of thirty feet away. A new boiler pit was excavated in the rock bottom of the cellar, and the pit concreted and connected with the sewer. A boiler—Pieree, Butler & Pierce down-draft type—was _ in- stalled, and connected with the heating system of the building. The entire installation has proven very successful, and I believe that its entire cost will soon be saved because of the fact that pea coal can be used as fuel instead of the more costly sizes of coal formerly used. The chimneys of this building were in a dangerous condition, necessitating their removal nearly to the roof line. They were rebuilt and extended four feet in height. Walk and Road Repairs.—Only the most necessary work was done on the roads; our efforts being confined largely to re- pairs on the Service Road. In order to keep the walks up to the former standard, it will be necessary to do a great deal of re- pairing in 1919. Repairs in Buildings.—Since the old shed at the Elk Range - was too dilapidated to warrant further repairs, a new shelter, 76 NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY 13’ x 50’ was erected on a concrete foundation, and supplied with a concrete floor. Minor repairs were made in a number of buildings and in- stallations in the Park. The roofs, gutters, leaders and heating plants demanded a very large share. Since it was considered necessary that the great amount of steel and wire work must be kept painted at all hazards to pre- vent rapid deterioration and maintain a thrifty appearance, a great deal of work was done in this line. This, probably, is the only work that is not seriously lagging. New shingles were put upon a great portion of the roofs of the Service Building and the Buffalo Entrance. The roofs of the lower Buffalo Barn, the old Shop Buildings, the Asiatic Deer Barn, and many smaller sheds were completely repaired or replaced. New boiler sections were installed in the Small-Deer House, Lion House, and Primate House. Care of Grounds.—The grounds and gardens were main- tained in as good condition as was possible, and, while they did not present quite the “‘spick and span” appearance of former years, there were no serious complaints. The exceedingly severe weather of the winter of 1917-1918 caused a great deal of damage to water pipes and hydrants in ranges, necessitating extensive repairs. The plantations suffered to a certain extent, and an effort should be made during the coming year to bring the appearance of these plantations up to their former standard of excellence. Owing to the heavy body of ice that formed on Bronx Lake, it was possible to promote skating a great deal. One of our auto trucks was supplied with a snow scoop, and with this and horse scoops, and the employment of some hand labor, the greater portion of the lake was kept free from snow. The daily census shows that about 17,300 skaters made use of the lake. The policing of the East Side was done as before, and the war against refuse and litter, and against depredations seems to have achieved some results, since the number of arrests and summonses dropped to 143, as against 255 for the previous year. NEW YORK SCHOOL CHILDREN IN THE ZOOLOGICAL PARK Thousands of children visit the Park during the summer months, and the Society regards with great satisfaction the increasing numbers of institutions that avail themselves of this privilege. The children in the upper picture are from “The Crippled Children’s East Side Free School,’’ and the lower one is a class from the Bronx Publie Schools. Face page 77 TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT (ui During a part of the time, officers were supplied by Capt. levers of the 53rd Precinct, and they did extremely good work. The arrests made and summonses issued by these men are not in- cluded in the above number. NURSERY. The customary amounts of vegetable and animal foods were raised at the Nursery, and a certain number of the animal ranges that were utilized the previous season for war crops, were again used for growing food stuffs. In spite of the very bad growing season and the aphid epidemic that was prevalent throughout the season, the following foods were produced: Vegetable Food.

The high cost of building materials, steel and paint, the great number of changes in the labor force, and many actual 78 NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY shortages of men have caused serious deterioration in certain lines, and special efforts must be made in 1919 to eatch up with these repairs in order to prevent disastrous results. This is true chiefly in walk repair work, in forestry and in repairs on old buildings and installations. It is imperative that important work should be done in the section of the Park east of the Boston Road; between the Boston Road and the river. The main walk should be built to Bronx- dale, and some of the steeper slopes protected from the public, as the bare, hard, tramped soil of these slopes is beginning fo erode badly, and many of the fine old trees are dead or dying. The plot east of the Bronx River adjacent to 180th Street should be cleaned, graded and seeded. Suitable guard rails should be supplied along the east river walk, and the entire walk, nearly a mile in length, should be resurfaced. The entire forest east of the Bronx River, in which no re- pair or pruning work has been done in six years, needs a great deal of attention, and I hope that funds for this purpose will be available. DEPARTMENT OF PHOTOGRAPHY AND PUBLICATION. Elwin R. Sanborn, Editor and Photographer; Anna Newman, Assistant. Photography.—During 1918 the photographic work included views of various subjects in the Park, musk ox, chimpanzees, murine opossum, several of the marsupials of Australia, opossum mouse, phalangers and flying-squirrels; tawny frogmouth, hom- ing pigeons, beavers, beaver works, sloth bears, stump-tailed lizards, ete.; bear dens, details of construction work, forestry work and a series of negatives at the Aquarium. The continued scarcity of glass as a support for sensitive emulsions is bringing about an important change in photographic work, and that is the substitution of cut films for dry plates. As most of the glass used in this work was produced abroad, the supplies from those sources were practically eliminated. This necessitated the finding of a substitute for glass, which has been realized by the use of heavy celluloid. These films are now being produced and are rapidly taking the place of the old glass plate, an event that is as of much importance as the introduc- War Service Honor Roll OF THE New York Zoological Park *W.

The films are unbreakable, and their weight is a mere trifle compared with the same number of glass negatives, and halation is practically eliminated. The finished film negatives can be filed in an extremely small space such as a filing cabinet used for letters, and in case of necessity one man alone could easily carry from a building a num- ber of these negatives which represented in the same number by the old glass negatives would require at least ten men to transport. In other words, the films require one-sixth of the storage space and are one-tenth of the weight. This is a tremen- dous advantage both to the explorer, and the commercial pho- tograher. Bulletin.—Six numbers of the BULLETIN were issued in 1918, and despite the continued scarcity of sources upon which to draw for contributions the standard of the publication was thoroughly maintained. “The Quest of the Okapi,”’ by Herbert Lang, illus- trated by the author’s beautiful photographs, and an article on the ‘‘Mammals of Australia,’ by W. H. D. Le Souef, were the most noteworthy contributions. Mr. Beebe furnished several stories from his apparently inexhaustible fund of material. and Mr. Crandall and Mr. Ditmars with their usual skill and perse- verance turned old stories into new ones. And, Dr. Hornaday’s genius for unearthing editorials where no editorials seemed to exist has added just the necessary finish to the editorial depart- ment. Dr. Townsend and the Aquarium staff supplied the mate- rial for two of the six numbers of the Bulletins. Annual Report.—The report for the last year was issued as heretofore. Zoopathologica.—Dr. George A. MacCallum continued his writing for this publication, furnishing a paper of sixty pages, divided into three numbers, illustrated with many drawings, on the genus Telorchis, studies of the Polystomidea and notes on the genus Camallanus. Zoologica.—Two numbers are in the hands of the printer ; one by W. H. D. Le Souef, and the other devoted to the work of Mr. Beebe at the Tropical Research Station in British Guiana. 80 NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY Appended is a statement of the photographic work in 1918: Prints tor Album _¢Aquanium))) 2 2 eee 55 Prints tor AlbumeGeank)) 2s oe eee 343 Prints fo’ UpiICauiOn owe hie 2) oe ee ee 344 Prints for Miscellaneous purposes 573 1395 CONCLUSION. The present year is no time to discuss future improvements with the expectation of seeing them carried out in the near fu- ture. We are more than ever impressed by the necessity of the expenditure of about $5,000 in protecting the banks of the Bronx River between the river and Boston Road. This improvement should embrace the entire length of the western bank. It would be unfair to the public to fence off the area that is being dam- aged from all use by the public until it can be put into condi- tion and provided with walks. On the other hand, it is very dis- quieting to see the need of work in walk-building and bank res- toration without any ability whatever to carry it into effect. At the earliest possible moment this matter shall receive treat- ment, but first of all funds must be forthcoming with which to pay the cost. In the immediate future, extensive restorations of wire cage work out of doors will be necessary, and at all hazards these demands must be met. Fine wire netting deteriorates very rap- idly and soon falls to pieces. The ceilings of a number of cages in the Lion House will this year demand thorough repair on account of the damage inflicted upon them by the leaky roof. The roof, however, has been recovered with tar instead of copper, and is now in excel- lent condition. The old shelter at the Fordham Entrance continues to be a great eyesore, and a detriment to the reputation of the Park as a whole. It will cost $35,000 to erect there an entrance that will be in keeping with the reputation and general architectural excellence of this institution. There is no source from which to obtain funds for this much needed improvement save from the city of New York, and it is from that source that we must ask for it. Respectfully submitted, WILLIAM T.

As during previous years, the resignations were due to the fact that the advance in wages in war industries tempted many of the members to leave the Park. During the year the following new members were received, after having fulfilled the requirements of the rules, and having been examined by the physician appointed by the Board, Dr. Gilbert J. Van der Smissen, who has rendered valuable services: Howard Engeholm Millie Foster Josephine Schlosser Frank Renner The funds of the Pension Board Income Account at the end of the year, and expendable in the payment of pensions, amount to $48,498.67, as against $37,627.11 at end of last year, showing an increase of $10,871.56. Of this increase during 1918, $1,838.80 was received as in- terest on investments, $2,930.73 came from dues paid by mem- bers, and $8,000.00 came from the New York Zoological Society. The Fund at the present time has 135 members, of whom 113 are employed in the New York Zoological Park and 22 in the New York Aquarium. In view of the accumulated funds in the Income Account now available for pensions, and the large number of resigna- tions which have taken place, the Board respectfully suggests that it may now be time to have a new survey made, with a view TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT 83 to rescinding the suspension of Sec. 15 of the regulations govern- ing the Fund, relating to the subscribing employee’s widow’s pension, and of Sec. 17, relating to the pensioning on account of death resulting from injuries received in line of duty.

William Beebe, Director; Inness Hartley, Research Associate; John Tee-Van, Artist and Preparateur. LFRED EMERSON, a graduate student in zoology of Cor- nell University, has recently been added to the staff as Research Assistant. While no field work was possible under war conditions, Beebe and Tee-Van spent all the time available in a careful review of past collections and of zoological literature for records of the higher vertebrates of British Guiana, resulting in a prelimi- nary check-list that will be published in Zoolegica early in 1919. This will be a valuable basis for work in the jungle during the coming year. In the preparation of these lists it was realized as never before, how complete is our ignorance of most of the amphibians, reptiles and mammals of this Colony. The references are scanty and for the most } «rt consist merely of a description of spirit specimens or dried skins of adults, often of only one sex. The courtship and breeding habits, the young, food, methods of of- fence and defence, voice, color and seasonal changes, enemies, instincts—all these remain to be discovered. From this point of view the field opening before us is a most fascinating one, filled with unexpected discoveries, and the scope of the study of life- histories seems peculiarly appropriate to the workers of a Re- search Station founded by a Zoological Society. The ultimate results in no way conflict with the field of activity of a museum, but each should complement and be enhanced by the achievements of the other. a The richness cf the fauna of the Colony of British Guiana is reflected by a summary of these lists of the higher vertebrates, although they are of the most preliminary character and many TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT 85 of the groups will probably be doubled in numbers when more thorough search has been carried on. A resume of the list seems well worthy of publication here: British Bartica Guiana District I.

The most important publication of the present year dealing with the work of the last two expe- ditions was a volume of essays written by the Director and pub- lished by Henry Holt under the title of “Jungle Peace.” Asa medium of advertisement for the Station it has proved a success, passing through six editions within three months. An expedition will start south early in the spring of 1919, and the Station be reopened for the year on its new and perma- nent site, known as Katabo. Several bungalows and a large lab- oratory have been placed at the disposal of the Station at Katabo, 86 NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY which is a point of land at the junction of the Mazaruni and the Cuyuni Rivers. The buildings are shaded by a magnificent grove of bamboos upwards of a hundred feet in height, while the jungle begins at the very doors. A number of well-known scientific men will take advantage of this opportunity to visit the jungle and carry on their researches during the summer and autumn.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF THE AQUARIUM TO THE BOARD OF MANAGERS HE position occupied by the New York Aquarium among the public museums of the City is not an enviable one. Confined within its century-old walls and limited in exhibition space to the original one hundred tanks, its growth is restrained as effec- tively as that of a crustacean unable to molt its old shell. Nor- mal development, such as has attended the other city museums, has been denied it in spite of the fact that in visitors it is far in the lead. Various plans submitted for its improvement from time to time have been approved—and placed on file. The present out- look is no brighter than it was before the war. A material increase in exhibition space is possible without encroachment on the limited territory of Battery Park, while the daily operation of the mechanical department is still conduct- ed under conditions verging on the intolerable. A disadvantage of long standing is a fire room subject to serious flooding during the neap and spring tides of each month. At such times the firemen wear rubber hip boots and shovel wet coal into the furnaces from half submerged wheelbarrows. When coal wagons arrive at such times it necessitates the delay of wagons and men until the tide ebbs, entailing serious addi- tional expense, at the rate of $3.80 a day with each coal trimmer’s time charged against the Aquarium. During a recent high tide the wagon and four men were detained an hour and a half. On April 11, the water rose to within two and a half inches of the furnace grate bars. Three inches more of rise would have put out the fires and stopped all pumps. This perpetually harass- ing condition can be corrected only by the removal of the entire mechanical department to the unused basement at the landward side of the building, where it can be protected from tbe sea tides. It is a change which has so far been urged without effect. 88 NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY The difficulties connected with the care and proper manage- ment of the antiquated and worn-out comfort room can be reme- died only by modernizing the present antiquated equipment and extending it to the full capacity of the space available. This should be done without delay, as present conditions are a re- proach to the institution. The administrative work of the Aquarium is carried on without the space necessary for effectiveness. The office space is limited, while feed room, repair room, and storage room are all mere make-shifts. The external appearance of the Aquarium has long been the subject of unfavorable comment. Its light, modern superstruc- ture, already weakened by the cutting of skylights at various times, should be replaced by something more in keeping with heavy walls of a building originally constructed as a fort. In this report the director refrains from entering into de- tails respecting the many needs of the building, all of which have been considered at length in previous reports. The remedy for the general retardation of the Aquarium lies in the shifting of all machinery to an unused basement, the con- version of the space thus vacated into exhibition tanks, and the addition of a third story for administrative purposes. Repairs to Roof.—An appropriation of $3,000 for long-need- ed repairs to the roof was made in 1917, but the work was, unfor- tunately, not commenced during that year. In 1918 this amount was reduced to $943.50 for temporary repairs and the work is in progress. Increased Coal Storage.—The most important improvement effected during the year was the construction of an additional coal bin of sixteen tons’ capacity. The space for the coal was created by excavating under the tiled floor of the main hall, just in front of the pump room. The fuel now stored there is held as a reserve supply, not to be drawn upon except in emergency. The appropriation for this improvement was $770. The main coal storage space has not been enlarged and at best holds only a four days’ supply. Stored Sea Water.—tThe filling of the recently enlarged exhi- bition tanks with sea water, naturally had the effect of lowering the level in the reservoir holding the supply of stored sea water. TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT 89 It was altogether impossible during the summer to secure the use of a water boat to renew the supply. This was not accom- plished until December, and at more than three times the former cost. The water is obtained far enough out at sea to be free from the pollutions which render the water of the harbor unfit for aquarium purposes. Coal Shortage in January.—The Aquarium was closed to visitors from January 18 to 28 inclusive, in compliance with the orders of the Fuel Administrator. Only enough fuel was used to keep the pumps in operation and to warm water for the tropi- cal collections. There was a saving in coal amounting to about fifty per cent. The employes were on duty and kept warm by engaging in vigorous house-cleaning. Exhibits.—The total number of specimens now in the Aqua- rium is 3,925, and the number of species 156. These figures as compared with those of the same date of the preceding year, show a decrease in specimens on exhibition of 2,124 and of spe- cies 30. Of fishes there are 2,628 specimens and 118 species; invertebrates 1,094 specimens and 17 species; amphibians, 105 specimens and 9 species; reptiles, 96 specimens and 15 species; and one mammal, a sea lion. The decrease has been chiefly in fishes, owing to the collect- ing of fewer specimens. The exhibits of all aquariums are col- lected directly from the waters, there being no purveyors of aquatic animals. The collecting work of the employes was unusually difficult in 1918, owing to conditions resulting from the war and from the epidemic of influenza. The transportation of tanks of speci- mens by rail and by boat was hampered in various ways, while the movements of small fishing boats about the harbor were un- der many restrictions. The transportation of tropical fishes was so uncertain that one of the customary shipments from Florida was omitted altogether. A reduction in the number of employes, and later, illness from influenza, served further to retard the usual work of col- lecting. An interruption of the field work of a public aquarium necessarily results in decreased exhibits. Tropical Fishes.—The additions to this exhibit were fewer than usual owing chiefly to difficulties in transportation by steam- er and to increased expense. In bringing these fishes from Flor- 90 NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY ida the Aquarium accepted the proffered co-operation of the Aquariums in Boston and Detroit. While the shipments were large, the share of specimens for the New York Aquarium was of course smaller, the only advantage being a materially lessened cost. Sea Horses.—The Aquarium lost its collection of sea horses during the winter and was for several reasons unable to procure more specimens of this perpetually interesting fish. Owing to the unusual accumulation of ice on all local sea-beaches it was im- possible to obtain for the sea horses the Amphipod crustacea on which they feed. They require live food and perish without it. Capture of Ocean Sunfish.—Early in June the Aquarium re- ceived and lost on the same day a specimen of the rare Ocean Sunfish, which might have lived indefinitely could it have been transported without injury. Having no collecting boat with a water compartment, this specimen, which weighed 165 pounds, had to be crowded into a tank too small for it, and brought by motor truck from Sheepshead Bay. It could not survive the journey, although in perfect condition when caught. Fish Hatchery.—This exhibit, established many years ago to show methods in fish culture, is always of interest to visitors. The eggs of fishes hatched during the year were: yellow perch, 150,000, collected in local waters by Aquarium employes; pike perch, 500,000, and whitefish, 500,000, donated by U. S. Bureau ef Fisheries; smelt, 3,000,000, and yellow perch, 2,000,000, do- nated by N. Y. Conservation Commission. The young fry were deposited in public waters in New York and New Jersey. Many of the yellow perch were deposited in Prospect Park Lake, Brooklyn. Specimens exchanged.—Exchanges of miscellaneous fishes were made with the Detroit Aquarium, and of food fishes with the New Jersey Fish and Game Commission. The Aquarium loaned 75 native food fishes to the New Jersey Commission for exhibition at the State Fair at Trenton in September, receiving at the close of the Fair 127 fishes, collected by the State Commis- sion. Most of the large trout now on exhibition were received from the New York and New Jersey Commissions. Aid to Schools and Teachers.—The Aquarium has continued as in past years to supply small forms of marine life to teachers for maintaining small aquaria in public schools.

Several thousand children in classes accompanied by their teach- ers visited the Aquarium during the year. Live Fishes at the Food Show.—At the request of the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries the Aquarium exhibited live fishes at the Food Show held in the Grand Central Palace, June 14-22. Four large aquaria were sent, containing white perch, yellow perch, bowfin and carp, the Bureau being engaged in exploiting these abundant but rather neglected food fishes. Loss of Manatee.-—The Amazon Manatee (Manatus inun- guis), which had lived in the Aquarium over two years, was lost in July. When dissected at the Museum it presented the extra- ordinary abnormality of having two distinct stomachs. Game Fish Trophies.—The Racquet and Tennis Club of New York has presented to the Aquarium six mounted specimens of large game fishes, comprising two tarpons, two tunas, a Ssail-fish and a California yellow-tail. Annual Reception.—The annual reception at the Aquarium on the evening of May 6, to members of the Zoological Society, was attended by 315 persons. A recent addition to the collection of tropical fishes added to the interest of the occasion. Music and refreshments were provided, as at former receptions. Reception to the American Fisheries Society.—On the eve- ning of September 10, the American Fisheries Society, then hold- ing its forty-seventh annual meeting in New York, was invited to a smoker at the Aquarium, as guests of the Zoological Society. One hundred and nine persons were present, and refreshments were provided. Motion pictures illustrative of fish culture and methods of the commercial fisheries were shown. This important organization has a nation-wide membership of 760. The New York meeting was devoted largely to the vital subject of the ever- increasing pollution of the waters. Navy Recruiting Station.—During the spring and summer an enclosed space on the main floor of the Aquarium was placed at the service of the Navy Deparment for recruiting purposes. The naval officer in charge examined 539 applicants for enlist- ment. Permission was granted the department to display within 92 NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY the building numerous framed posters advertising the need of men for the Naval Service. Fourth Liberty Loan.—The general committee in charge of the work of soliciting subscriptions came to the Aquarium on two occasions, accompanied by a Naval band. Employes.—Two members of the Aquarium staff who volun- teered for military service in 1917, are still in the Army, and a third was granted a year’s leave of absence without pay, in order to take a position at the shipyards. The number of employes is now reduced to twenty-three, as compared with twenty-eight at the commencement of the war in 1914. Two employes of the Aquarium, who had been many years in the service, were pensioned, having become incapacitated. Illustrated Guide to the Aquariwm.—The manuscript and illustrations for a guide to the Aquarium have been placed in the hands of the printer. The preparation of a guide was com- menced several years ago. It was taken up later and set aside for several reasons. There were difficulties to be surmounted before suitable photographs could be made. These were finally overcome after prolonged experimentation. The building being too dark for the use of the instantaneous shutter, methods of arti- ficial lighting had to be worked out. The photographing of objects moving in water and behind glass presented other difficulties, so that the accumulation of a large series of really good pictures took considerable time and involved the rejection of a large number of photographs which were too dim or out of focus. Meanwhile it was hoped that improvements in the equip- ment of the building, which were very slowly being made, would result in increasing the variety of species exhibited, so that a really comprehensive account would be possible. The improvements are still far from complete, but with a new water system and larger tanks the collections have been made as representative as is possible in the one hundred tanks avail- able. It is still quite impossible to keep most of the invertebrates of local waters, and will remain so until a cold sea-water system is provided. Under present limitations the exhibits of the Aqua- rium must consist chiefly of fishes. » TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT 93 The guide will be a pocket-size book of about 175 pages, with a good half-tone cut at the top of each page. It will contain brief accounts of 350 of the fishes and other aquatic forms most fre- quently to be seen there. Had it been issued when first proposed, it could not have been anything like as comprehensive in character. A Book of Views.—This pamphlet, entitled Inmates of the Aquarium, has been on sale since August, 1916. It is appre- ciated by the public and more than half of the edition of 5,000 copies has been sold. Attendance.—A few months after the beginning of the war in Europe the record of attendance showed that the number of visitors to the Aquarium was falling off. This decrease contin- ued to the end of the present year, except for a slight increase in 1917. The attendance for 1918 was 1,450,609, a decrease of 144,509 from that of the preceding year, and the lowest in the history of the Aquarium. The lessened number of visitors, how- ever, iS indicated by the attendance record only, there being no noticeable decrease in the size of the throng in the building from day to day. The daily average for the year was 3,964. ATTENDANCE AT THE AQUARIUM BY MONTHS, 1918.

By IDA M. MELLEN. The Ninth Annual Report contained a partial list of the vertebrates exhibited at the Aquarium during the year 1904; and in the Seventeenth Annual Report a longer list was pub- lished, showing the vertebrates exhibited from 1896 to 1912. The list here presented, revised from records kept by Mr. W. I. DeNyse, shows the species of animals, both vertebrate and invertebrate, exhibited at the Aquarium during the twenty-two years of its existence. It comprises more than a hundred species of invertebrates, and 447 species of vertebrates of which 361 are fishes. Written records have not been kept of the length of life of invertebrates in captivity, but under present conditions most are comparatively short-lived. White anemones have survived two years in balanced aquaria, as have also clam worms. Lobsters and horse shoe crabs have lived three years in captivity. Mol- lusks survive longest of all invertebrates, mud snails, sea mus- sels and oysters having lived five years or more. The installation of a cold sea water system would undoubtedly add not only to the length of invertebrate life in the tanks, but to the longevity of many of the northern marine fishes. The dates of receipt and loss of vertebrate specimens are carefully recorded, and it is interesting to note the hardihood of some species of native fishes, of both fresh and salt water, as the garpikes, that have survived twenty years in captivity, the bow- fin eighteen years, the striped bass nineteen years. Our large sea lion, despite lack of sunshine in which all the seal family love to bask, and though subject to the ills that mammalian flesh is generally heir to, has been with us for eleven years. A nine and a half foot Florida alligator that recently died, had passed thirteen years in one of the floor pools, and expired at last from 96 NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY injuries received in battle with one of its companions. This specimen was adult when received, not having increased in length while in the Aquarium. The longevity of turtles is well known, and though the leatherback does not long survive captivity, one of our Pacific Green turtles thrived for fifteen years, and a log- gerhead, after fourteen years’ captivity, was returned to the ocean.
