With these subscriptions the deficit was wiped out with the exception of the sum of $122.07 which was paid from the Income Account. In spite of these donations, the Park and Aquarium could not have been maintained, except through the utmost economy on the part of the Directors and their respective staffs. All of these facts were brought to the attention of the Board of Estimate and Apportionment, and for 1920 the Society has been awarded for the Park, the sum of $237,930.97, and for the Aquarium, the sum of $54,891. These are both very substantial increases and in spite of the greatly increased cost of supplies and labor probably would have proved adequate if they had been turned over to the Society in a lump sum as heretofore. This Maintenance Fund has, however, been apportioned in accord- ance with a rigid schedule, which will make it exceedingly diffi- cult to get through the year without a deficit. The Society already has been obliged to vote the sum of $2,500 to make up the salaries of the high officials of the Park, which were reduced for some unaccountable reason at the last moment. In spite of these drawbacks, the Executive Committee do not expect to be obliged to call upon the Board of Managers for help for maintenance for the coming year. CORPORATE STOCK. During the year corporate stock to the amount of $5,000 was supplied by the city for the following purposes: Improvements along Bronx River. FINANCES. Sage Bequest.—Nothing was received in 1919 from the Es- tate of Mrs. Russell Sage, but it is expected that a portion of the bequest will become available during the spring of 1920. 46 NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY The following were the balances to the credit of the various accounts on January 1, 1920: FniCOMe-ACCOUMtL 2 oe Saee ee oR nee oer $945.89 Endowment Fund (Cash uninvested)............. 26,941.21 PATNA EUG es y3. cp eee eee toemecan cs eee: tee Maen 39,604.39 Special Trust Fund: Gadwalader Animal Fund........-.. $945.53 Stokes bird sh nds. ne seen oe se ooe 658.54 1,604.07 Improvement and Repair Fund................... 12,880.86 Special Funds: Paolieariom Mund! onc scce eee ele SIE TOTeZS Mropical esearch Mund. -).5.....-. 153.65 PAG ACTA.

At the close of the year the balance on hand was $945.89. This always has been the most overburdened fund of the Society. Until we have an Endowment Fund of at least two million dollars this account will be insufficient to meet the current expenses. Nearly all other funds are so limited that deficits in them must be charged against this account. Even the Pension Fund has been of little help to the Society so far, since the Society is obliged to supply the sum of $3,665 annually from the Income Account as its contribution toward pensions. ANIMAL FUND. The amount to the credit of the Animal Fund at the end of the year 1919 amounted to $39,604.39. This accumulation is due to the fact that few animals were available during the year. The Society now has on hand a sufficient amount to pay for animals TWENTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT AT now awaiting shipment that are urgently needed to replenish the collections. The Society donated a collection of animals consisting of 151 species and 329 specimens to the Antwerp Zoological Gar- dens. The Zoological Society of Antwerp showed their appre- ciation by presenting the Society, through its President and the Director of the Park, engraved resolutions of thanks and award- ing them “Cross of a Commander of the Order of the Belgian Crown.” The cost of transporting these collections, amounting to $1,829.47, was charged against the Cadwalader Animal Fund. CADWALADER ANIMAL FUND. The balance on hand at the end of the year amounted to $945.53. The only important charge against this account was the cost of the transporting the Society’s gift to the Antwerp Zoological Gardens. STOKES BIRD FUND. The balance at the end of the year amounted to $658.54. This fund was established for the protection of wild life in North America and no expenditures were made from it during the year. ENDOW MENT FUND. During the year, the Endowment Fund slowly increased from $370,701.25 to a total of $398,632.46, inclusive of securities and cash uninvested. After an existence of a quarter of a century and with an attendance larger than that of any scientific society in the world, to have an Endowment Fund of less than $400,000 is discouraging. Your Committee are unable to understand why the Society should be repeatedly omitted in the wills of rich men who ap- parently search far and wide for objects for their benevolence. If the Society had an Endowment Fund in any degree on a parity with similar funds in sister institutions, the educational and scientific work of the Society could be multiplied many times. “usoques *y UIM[A Aq ydersojoyd & wor wadd dau Nvadowunga TWENTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT 49 Until we have an Endowment Fund of several millions of dollars, we shall be compelled to pass or neglect scientific oppor- tunities that would yield great results. Even with the income when received from the Sage bequest, princely as that gift was, the Society will be little more than able to pay its way on the present basis, without embarking upon any new undertaking. ART GALLERY FUND. The following new picture was purchased during the year: Rocky Mountain Goat, by Carl Rungius. Mr. Rungius is now engaged in the preparation of a picture of the American Wapiti. There is now on hand a balance of $7,221.68 in this fund. TROPICAL RESEARCH FUND. The Tropical Research Station at Georgetown, British Gui- ana, was reopened and a description of the season’s work appears elsewhere in this report. The scientific results for the year were exceptionally bril- liant, and the station will be reopened in the spring of 1920, and Mr. Beebe will sail for British Guiana in April.

A list of the American sub- scribers to the “Monograph” is published on page 121 of this Report. It is hoped to publish Vol. II at the end of 1920 and the two remaining volumes will be published during 1921. The delay in the appearance of these volumes has been oc- casioned by the fact that the plates were being manufactured in Austria when the war broke out, and it has only been recently possible to have them shipped in safety to London. NATIONAL COLLECTION OF HEADS AND HORNS. There have been few acquisitions to the Head and Horns collection, but during the year we have acquired by gift and purchase the following specimens: Gifts William Hoey: Black-tailed Deer; Head. W. Redmond Cross: Rocky Mountain Goat; two Heads. Carl Rungius: Fannin’s Mountain Sheep; Head. Mrs. Casimir deRham: Trophies, late Casimir deRham; Two Antelope heads, two Elk heads, Mountain Sheép head and one Bear head. Townsend Lawrence: European Red Deer; antlers. Purchase By purchase the Society acquired a pair of Philippine Water Buffalo horns, and two heads of Prong-horned Antelope. The head of the Hangul deer, from a specimen that was pre- sented to the Society by the Duke of Bedford and died after living in the Zoological Park, was mounted for exhibition. HEADS AND HORNS MUSEUM. The Executive Committee have determined to commence at once the construction of the Heads and Horns Museum. All subscriptions with one exception have been paid, and the entire amount has been invested in Liberty Bonds. There is also a TWENTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT 51 small cash balance on hand. An additional $10,000 have been guaranteed by the individual members of the Executive Com- mittee, making available a total building fund of $104,000. The Committee have requested Mr. Henry D. Whitfield to prepare detailed plans and specifications for the building, with a view of awarding the contract in the spring of 1920. An additional $40,000 will be required and the Committee desire to obtain four subscriptions of $10,000 each to this fund. WILD LIFE PROTECTION. Perhaps the most important matter under this heading dur- ing the year was the fight at Albany to prevent the enactment of the law permitting the killing of female deer. The conservative sportsmen in the Adirondacks and elsewhere were behind this opposition, but in spite of them the so-called buck law was re- pealed. The measure, however, will undoubtedly be again enacted into law during the coming season because up to date eleven men have been killed in the Adirondacks by mistake, while the slaugh- ter of does has been excessive. There has been no demand during the year on the Society’s fund for Wild Life Protection as all work of this nature was financed by the Permanent Wild Life Protection Fund. The balance on hand January 1, 1920, was $981.31. PUBLICATION FUND. The balance on hand on January 1, 1920, was $1,707.28. A new catalogue of the Aquarium, which is now in course of preparation should be ready in the immediate future. It virtually is a guide book. The publication has been financed by the Aquarium Fund with the exception of $1,000 advanced by the Society. The price will be forty cents per copy. This catalogue would have been on sale if it had not been delayed by the printer’s strike. ‘uroqueg “y UIM[A Aq Ydeasojoyd e WOT ‘adaljog YyyUWIG Jo Jepunoy ey} 107JFe YPIWS eiydog peureu useq sey [aurea Sunod oy], MUVd AHL NI NuoOd THANVO NVIELOVa ay TWENTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT 53 LIBRARY FUND. The Library Fund is supported by Transfers from the Gen- eral Income Account of the Society. During the year no transfers were made, and the balance of $67.41 on hand January 1, 1920. As has been stated previously by this Committee, it is the intention to have the Zoological Library specialize in works on conservation. Mr. John J. Paul of Watertown, Florida, presented to the Library a valuable collection of scientific works, including Gould’s Monograph of the Hummingbirds of the World in six volumes, and many other volumes relating to early North American zoolo- gy and exploration. IMPROVEMENT AND REPAIRS. Very little work from this fund has been done during the year, except the erection of a permanent cage of hexagonal form back of the Aquatic-Bird House, for red-winged blackbirds. CARNEGIE PENSION FUND. A formal application was made to the Carnegie Foundation for the sum of $150,000 for the Carnegie Pension Fund in order that the Society might be relieved of the present drain upon its resources. The Society is obliged to contribute annually from its General Income Account the sum of $3,665. The Society’s request, however, appears to have received but scant consideration and there is little hope of relief from this quarter. MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. The Medical Research Department under Dr. George S. Huntington has made remarkable scientific use of the rough material turned over from our collection. Many skeletons and skins also have been furnished to the American Museum of Natural History. Some of the most important results obtained from the Prosector’s office are set forth in Dr. Huntington’s report. 54 NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY CONSERVATION. The Chairman of the Executive Committee, Mr. Grant, spent the summer on the western coast organizing the ‘‘Save the Red- woods League,” which has for its purpose, the preservation of the giant Redwoods from destruction. This campaign has proved most successful and the details were set forth in the September BULLETIN of the Society. Seven thousand five hundred copies of this BULLETIN were printed for distribution and have been sent to all members of Congress, and the Legislatures of various West Coast states. The BULLETIN has proved of great service in arousing public interest and is to be regarded as the Society’s contribu- tion toward the preservation of our forests. The results ob- tained from the relatively small expenditure involved show what easily could be done elsewhere if the Society were financially strong. The nation-wide character of the Society is becoming recognized and will become more and more conspicuous in the future. As soon as we are in a position to take up scientific work on a large scale the Society will acquire not only national but an international status. BRONX PARKWAY COMMISSION. Great progress was made during the year in this important work, and with the full support and assistance of the city the Commission is prepared to push toward an early completion of the driveway. The river itself is now safe from pollution. RECEPTIONS. Annual Dinner.—The Eleventh Annual Dinner was given through the courtesy of Mr. Watson B. Dickerman at the Metro- politan Club on December 26, 1919. Reception at the Aquarium.—The Annual Reception to the members of the Society was held at the Aquarium on Monday eve- ning, May 12, 1919. About 406 members and their guests at- tended this function, while the members of the Board of Manag- ers and their wives acted as Reception Committee. TWENTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT 55 At the Zoological Park, Ladies’ and Members’ Day was ob- served on May 22, 1919. It was preceded by the Spring Meeting of the Board at the Administration Building.

The Auditors’ report, as well as that of the Auditing Com- mittee, follows the report of the Treasurer on page 178. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS. The Directors of the Park and Aquarium and their respec- tive staffs have done everything possible to facilitate the work in their respective institutions and to maintain them at a high standard of efficiency, in spite of the discouragements of the year. The Committee desire to acknowledge their zeal and faith- fulness. Respectfully submitted, MADISON GRANT, Chairman, PERCY: REYNE; LISPENARD STEWART, WILLIAM WHITE NILES, WATSON B. DICKERMAN, WM.

Extracts from the Minutes of the Executive Committee of the Board of Managers uf the New York Zoological Society Merting of October 2, 1914 Andrem Caruegiv Resolved, That the Executive Committee of the New York Zoological Society desires to express its deep regret for the death on August 11, 1919, of the late Andrew Carnegie, one of the Managers of the Society since its organization, and one of its most munificent benefactors. The Pension System of the New York Zoological Society has been of great assistance to a most worthy and efficient class of men and was founded by the generosity of Mr. Carnegie. The Society has never failed to meet with a prompt and lavish response from Mr. Carnegie in all its efforts to develop the New York Zoological Park and to promote its scientific work. Further Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be trans- mitted to the family of the late Andrew Carnegie. Merting of December 11, 19149 Gentry Morgan Cilford Resolved, That the Executive Committee desire to make this minute of their deep regret for the loss of their associate, the late Henry Morgan Tilford, on December 3, 1919, and to express their personal sense of bereavement. ‘usoqueg “y ulm Aq ydersojoyd e& WOT GNOd YAAVad AHL JO SNVMS GLOW REPORT OF THE LADIES’ AUXILIARY TO THE BOARD OF MANAGERS. The year 1919 was marked by great industry in the Ladies’ Auxiliary of the New York Zoological Society. The membership was increased, and much important work was accomplished. The activities of the Auxiliary that were greatly curtailed during the period of the war were resumed, and the unfinished tasks again are being prosecuted with vigor. The winter lecture of 1919 was given by Ensign Donald B. MacMillan on February 17, at the house of Mrs. Vincent Astor, who kindly offered her residence for the purpose. The subject, “Animal Life and the Children of the Arctic,” was a fascinating topic, illustrated by a number of remarkable pictures in color taken by Ensign MacMillan while with the Crocker Land Expe- dition. Mr. Madison Grant, Chairman of the New York Zoologi- cal Society, presided. At the first business meeting of 1919, heid on April 25, it was voted that the work of the Endowment Fund be again taken up, in the desire to complete the sum of $5,000, which had been promised by the members of the Ladies’ Auxiliary as their share of the General Endowment Fund for the Society. Of this $5,000, the sum of $2,700 already has been sent to the Treasurer of the Society, Mr. Percy R. Pyne. At this same meeting, the date of the annual Garden Party was set for May 22, and the Garden Party Committee of the previous year was unanimously re-elected. This reception was the most successful and brilliant ever given by the Society. The Park in the fulness of its spring beauty, made a marvelous set- ting. The new Commissioner of Parks, Mr. Gallatin, and other distinguished guests, were present; and for the children there were special performances by the animals. 62 NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY The fine music was also much enjoyed by the numberless guests. As a result of this entertainment, many new and en- thusiastic members were obtained for the Society. At the second business meeting of 1919, held on December 10, Miss Pauline Robinson, Chairman of the Ladies’ Auxiliary Committee for Children’s Excursions to Bronx Park, presented a report of the work for the entertainment of children. Twenty- three groups, comprising a total of 1,198 children, were taken to the Park from the public schools and playgrounds of the City for day’s outings. These groups always went under the guid- ance of a play leader, free transportation and lunches were provided, and the parties were so much enjoyed that the children were constantly clamoring for more excursions. For most of them it was the only outing of the summer, and their only opportunity to enjoy the advantages offered in the way of edu- cation and diversion at the Zoological Park. These parties were made possible through the generous donations of members of the Ladies’ Auxiliary so the Fund of which Miss Robinson is Chairman. The date for the winter lecture of 1920 was fixed for Feb- ruary 5 and was held at the residence of Mrs. Vanderbilt, 1 West 57th Street, where Mr. Beebe lectured on “Jungle Life and Its Opportunity for Scientific Imagination.” Henry Fair- field Osborn, President of the Society, presided. Respectfully submitted, Mrs. GEORGE F. BAKER, JR., Chairman. PYGMY HIPPOPOTAMUS The first specimen of this rare and interesting animal ever born in captivity. REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF THE ZOOLOGICAL PARK TO THE BOARD OF MANAGERS OTWITHSTANDING a record breaking attendance of . 2,035,859, the Director sincerely hopes that he never will have to pass through another year such as 1919. The grinding poverty of our working people was accentuated by a seale fal lower than the pay given elsewhere in city institutions fo1 similar services. This affected every one on the force, from the lowest to the highest. The losses of valuable long-service men, and the difficulty of securing new ones “just as good” at our starvation rates of pay, precipitated a continuous struggle to keep our force fairly intact, and keep the Park up to the mark. Next came the loss by death of four long-time friends: Mr. Carnegie, Mrs. Sage, Mr. Clark and Mr. Bourne. To those calamities we have to add the loss of some im- portant large hoofed animals, the present impossibility of re- placing any of them, and the total loss of a collection of South American animals of great variety that had been specially gathered for us,—lost because of no shipping facilities from the only port available. Finally, the cut in our appropriation of $32,000 and its baneful results, followed us through the year like a nightmare. The bright spots on the year’s record were the record throngs of appreciative visitors, the return of Major Dr. Blair from overseas, the visits of the King and Queen of Belgium, the giving of a large lot of living specimens to the Zoological Garden most in need of them, and the saving (by Keeper D’Osta) of the big chimpanzee Fanny when she was just the same as dead of pneumonia. 66 NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY ATTENDANCE The attendance of visitors was a source of profound satis- faction. Although we receive far less maintenance money than our rich sister institutions, our attendance balance sheet for the year goes so far beyond theirs that not one of them makes even a good second to the Zoological Park. In popular apprecia- tion we lead all the institutions of Greater New York, except Coney Island in its best seasons. The monthly record for the year is as follows: 1919 1918 PATNA, ek teks eee ace eee 69,298 38,528 WeDrUATY, “oreo eee ee ook 84,221 56,620 Mia rhs is 2 Soe pee ey mene 118,798 135,482 POU eae eat Ceca oh eae 192,839 161,344 IM ayy chet cali eee sec Nee Re eae ee: 255,597 232,337 UNG ace eras cae rk eos Oe 297,299 246,307 ALG hi aa iaee Sesame MMAR DD rr aera 220,004 269,273 AVIS US task eee ae ee eine 263,135 174,949 DenLeMbe mite cm Seen ee 226,015 191,134 OCLODER I LON aioe erie tes Hast 42 108,970 INOVEMIDETA.c.-cere tates oto e ee 131,650 85,099 Decembera:. eee 43,275 70,394 2,035,859 1,770,437 MAINTENANCE The year 1919 was a lean year. Our total appropriation of $190,000 represented a cut of $17,000 from the funds of the previous year, and a cut of $32,000 from the budget that we submitted to the Board of Estimate as representing our minimum needs. In asking for $222,000 for 1919 we assumed that inasmuch as the People of New York, private and official, had elected to create the Zoological Park, they meant what they said when they promised in advance to “maintain it adequately.” But the open season in the fall of 1918 saw a great slaughter of appropriations. By a curious irony of treatment, we were cut TWENTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT 67 down to $150,000 with a resounding crash in salaries of eighteen per cent. loss; and then, in response to a frantic appeal in behalf of our impoverished men, we were given back $15,000, solely for the purpose of increasing the salaries of our force by that amount over and above what those salaries were before they were reduced! It being utterly impossible to carry on during 1919 with only $190,000, the Society addressed itself to the task of making up a shortage $32,000, thus: By passing the hat through the Board of IVER AIP CRG teeta ene oe nie es een er west $18,000 By leaving positions vacant, and by dropping every employee who could possibly be SRC Ce eats ce acto apa eA eee e tel eck we pn a oe 10,000 Bysstripping the Animal Funds ys. ...6. .o.. 4,000 ARG IG) bea ca Sate ge Settee PO en ie a ee eer IAS $32,000 This unhappy program was carried out. There was nothing else to be done. We kept up to the mark all those portions of the Park that are most in the public eye, and by the rest of it we merely did the best we could. In 1919 the end of the war enabled the city government to adjust institutional finances on a better basis. We asked for $242,000, we received $237,000, and the Society is making up the difference. Our employees whose salaries are under $1,200 per year receive for 1920 the universal horizontal increase of twenty per cent., and those getting from $1,200 to $1,900 receive fifteen per cent. more, and all those (all except the Director) above $1,900 receive ten per cent. more. But even this left our officers and Chief Clerk so poorly paid that from its own funds the So- ciety must provide for an additional ten per cent. increase, to give them two-thirds of the salaries paid to curators in the simi- lar institutions. As usual, the repairs made to the Park buildings, walks and other improvements were paid for wholly out of moneys that be- longed by right to the Animal Fund, and the same course must be pursued in 1920. 68 NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY THE GIFT TO BELGIUM In 1916, when the war was pressing upon the Belgian people with the utmost severity, the Zoological Society resolved to send to the Societe Royale de Zoologie of Antwerp, a large gift of mammals, birds and reptiles to assist in the reconstruction of the Antwerp Zoological Gardens. A communication was despatched to the Antwerp Society declaring this intention, and promising that as soon as the enemies of Belgium were out of that country, and the Gardens were ready to receive new collections, the gift would be forwarded. In the summer of 1919 Dr. M. L’Hoest, Director of the Ant- werp Gardens, advised us that the proposed gift might be for- warded forthwith. In furtherance of the plan, the officers of the Royal Zoological Society of Antwerp secured from the owners of the Lloyd Royal Belgian Steamship Line the privilege of free transportation for the entire collection, and three keepers to care for them, over and back. On the steamer Hglantier, which left New York on October 2, 1919, went forward the entire collection of 224 birds, 49 rep- tiles and 2 California sea lions which arrived from Santa Barbara in time to go directly on board. With this shipment went Bird Keeper Louis Wahl. The New York agents of the ship, and the ship’s officers, did literally everything in their power to render the enterprise both successful and agreeable; and the same must be said of the officers of the steamer Jndier that carried the mammals, later on. With only three losses among the birds the Indier reached Antwerp on October 19, and the shipment was promptly taken in hand by Dr. L’Hoest and the Antwerp Society. It was arranged in New York that the mammals should go forward on the steamer /ndier, that was booked to sail on October 3. But the longshoremen’s strike intervened, and for three weeks or more the Jndier lay comfortably at her dock at 41st Street, unable to receive any cargo. This exasperating delay eventually led to an entire change in the plans for the cargo of the ship, and in order to get away it was decided to load with grain, off the Jersey shore at Hobo- ken. With that decision the Jndier quickly left her home berth, and went to Hoboken. TWENTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT 69 And then began our final act. All the crates for our mammal gift had long been in readiness, and Mr. Ditmars and the keepers had worked out their plans for crating, down to the smallest details. Forthwith the catching and crating began. In making up the list of gifts, the Director kept constantly in mind the necessity to send a zoologically representative col- lection, that would cover the greatest possible number of orders, families and important genera. Of the larger mammals it was deemed best to send single adult male specimens rather than pairs with a view to the possibilities of breeding. This view was, later on, cordially approved by Director L’Hoest. In pursuance of this principle we shipped a fine adult bull American bison, an adult bull elk, and other male hoofed animals of large size. The task of crating was wonderfully successful. It began on October 30, and was finished early in the morning of the 31st, without injury to anything. By noon of the 31st everything was on board our lighter at the foot of 134th Street. Curator Ditmars made moving picture records of the principal events, and at the last annual meeting of our Society they formed a feature of unusual interest. The business of getting ten truck-loads of animals and food on board the ship was a very difficult matter. On the whole, and due to circumstances wholly beyond the control of the ship’s officers and our own men, the task was the most difficult and exhausting of any one undertaking ever carried through by our force. This was due to the rush in loading the ship with grain from half a dozen floating elevators while our own cargo was struggling to get on. Our force of ten men began work at the ship, from our own chartered lighter, at 5 P.M., and by the time it was finished, just before midnight, they were more dead than alive. This work was accomplished by a mixed force of Park laborers under Mr. Merkel and of keepers under Mr. Ditmars. With this shipment went Keepers Walter Thuman and John Reilly, whose services throughout were admirable. The ship lay off Staten Island for nearly a week, and while there the Mon- golian wild horse, which from the first had kicked and fought against confinement in her crate, managed to break her neck. 79 NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY This was the only serious casualty in the collection. The loss later on of two common red foxes was negligible. This ponderous shipment, of ten truck loads of animals and five loads of food, occupied the forecastle house and a deck house twenty-four by forty feet constructed by contract for the Society at a cost of nearly $500. After a short and very satisfactory voyage, the Indier reached Antwerp on November 23, and our keepers rendered good assistance in disembarking and in getting the animals well settled in their new quarters. Enough food was sent over to give all the animals a good start. In expressing its thanks for and appreciation of the gift, the Societe Royale de Zoologie surpassed all the existing records of such matters of which we know. To the President of the New York Zoological Society, and to the Director of the Park, separately, for their respective parts in the matter, were sent highly artistic and beautifully illumi- nated parchment memorials, printed in type over 350 years old, and signed by each member of the Board of Directors of the Antwerp Society. The medals of honor of the Society were be- stowed upon each of the two officers named above, and both were elected Honorary Members of the Antwerp Society. Altogether, the gift to Antwerp toward the restoration of her beautiful Zoological Garden was carried through with com- plete success and satisfaction. The New York Zoological Society has done more than to offer mere words of sympathy over the devastations of war, and has gone farther than to say in empty words, “Be ye warmed and fed.” It has been worth while for science to show that its sympathy is susceptible of practical demonstration. The food sent with the shipment of mammals was as follows: Sixty-eight bales of clover and timothy hay; 1,000 quarts of crushed oats; 250 loaves of bread; 200 bananas; 75 cabbages; 50 quarts of bran; 1 box of oranges; 1 crate of eggs; sundry bags of carrots, potatoes and beets; 500 pounds of fresh meat and 225 pounds of fresh fish.

DEPARTMENT OF MAMMALS W. T. HornapDAay, Curator; R. L. DitTmMars, Assistant Curator; JOHN ToOOMEY, Head Keeper. In view of the severe handicaps from which this department has suffered, the majority of the mammal collections have held up remarkably well. In spite of all drawbacks, the collection of apes, baboons and monkeys is up to its highest standard, the bears are as fine and as numerous as ever, the loss of two species in the Zebra House is not very noticeable, and the deer have completely 72 NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY held their own. The Small Mammal House has suffered severely, the Elephant House has had, during the last four years, three serious losses, and the Antelope House collection has badly fallen off. On the other hand, the Lion House is close up to high-water mark, and the kangaroos and hoofed stock in the Small Deer House seem at their best. It is no exaggeration to say that the animals sent to Belgium are not missed. Some of them were specially purchased for that gift, and others were duplicates that could be spared. Our greatest loss during 1919 was Sultana, the female Afri- can elephant from the Blue Nile. Although originally as large as the male, Kartoum, the rapid growth of her mate soon left her far behind in size. Her troubles began with an awkward and unnecessary fall that she managed to have on the sloping runway leading from her cage to her yard. In that seemingly trifling accident she broke two ribs, and also broke off the external con- dyle of her right femur, a really preposterous accident for an elephant. That break resulted in a long and painful lameness in that hind leg, during which the animal threw so much weight on the left leg that the left foot became inflamed, and suppurated to a very serious extent. Finally, Sultana came down, never to rise again. A great effort was made to raise her and support her, but she was too weak and helpless. Her troubles were ended by a rifle bullet through her brain. Other serious losses by death were Toto, the orang-utan, a sitatunga, a Mongolian horse, a springbuck, two sea lions, and a number of kangaroos and deer of several species. The persistent and quick fatalities among the small mam- mals purchased of dealers were quite exasperating and at times unaccountable. The accessions during the year were few and unimportant. The most noteworthy was the birth of the pygmy hippopotamus. The health of the mammals as a whole throughout the year has been excellent. There were no epidmics, and an almost ir- reducible minimum of tuberculosis. TWENTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT 73 The Park is waiting with eager interest the arrival next spring of a fine lot of animals that has been assembled and main- tained at Pretoria, in the National Zoological Garden of South Africa, by Mr. A. K. Haagner, the Director. When that collec- tion arrives it will fill several gaps in our Antelope House. Following is a list of the more important gifts received dur- ing 1919: RECEIVED BY GIFT IN 1919 Four Green Monkeys; 1 Moustache Monkey; 2 Spot-Nosed Monkeys; 1 Sooty Mangabey; 1 White-faced Sapajou; 1 Squirrel Monkey; 1 Cotton-headed Marmoset; 1 Crab-eating Raccoon; 2 White-nosed Coati Mundis; 1 Red Coati mundi; 4 Raccoons; 1 Red Fox; 1 Weasel; 1 Anticosta Island Black Bear; 1 Virginia Deer; 1 Muntjac; 2 American Bison; 1 Black Woodchuck; 1 Albino Gray Squirrel; 1 Golden Agouti; 2 Black Ground Squirrels; 1 Mexican Variable Squirrel; 1 Murine Opossum and 6 young; 1 Sea Lion.

CRANDALL, Curator; WILLIAM BEEBE, Honorary Curator; SAMUEL STACEY, Head Keeper. During the period of reconstruction which has followed the close of the war, importations of wild birds and animals have received scant attention. Ocean traffic, swamped with the pent- up business of four years, has left little space for non-essential shipments. That this condition will be remedied during 1920, TWENTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT 15 we have every reason to believe. The wild animal clearing sta- tions of the world are well stocked with rarities which await only the opportunity to swell our collections. During the latter part of 1919, a few shipments slipped through. Two of these were from India and brought us the first supply of Asiatic birds we have received since 1914. Included were Indian pittas (Pitta brachyura), blue-cheeked and green barbets (Cyanops asiatica and Thereiceryx zeylanicus), Indian golden orioles (Oriolus kundoo), golden-fronted green bulbuls (Chloropsis aurifrons) and a wonderful albinistic Indian ring- necked parrakeet (Palaeornis torquata), with plumage of pure and dazzling golden yellow. From Para, in November, there came a long-expected ship- ment of Brazilian birds, imported by a local dealer. Among them were toco, Cuvier and sulphur-and-white-breasted toucans (Rhamphastos toco, R. culminatus cuvieri and R. vitellinus), the first arrivals in many years; the rare short-tailed parrots (Gray- dadisculus brachyurus) ; a pair of horned screamers (Palamedea cornuta) ; brilliant scarlet ibises (Guara rubra) and roseate spoonbills (Ajaja ajaia) and Brazilian hawk-headed parrots (Deroptyus accipitrinus fuscifrons) . The Tropical Research Station sent us a number of birds, including a white-collared hawk (Leucopternis melanops), a great crested cacique (Ostinops decumanus), two gray-winged trumpeters (Psophia crepitans) and a very fine cock-of-the-rock (Rupicola rupicola), the second of the species we have exhibited. Karly in January we secured three immature specimens of the South American black-backed goose or comb duck (Sarci- diornis sylvicola). These birds are the first of the species we have had, and coming from Venezuela, establish a new northern limit of distribution. About the first of the year, we received word from the ostrich farm at Bloomsburg, Pa., that it was in difficulties and wished to dispose of its birds at any price. The Curator left for Bloomsburg at once and selected a fine cock South African ostrich (Struthio australis) and five North African hens (S. camelus). All were unusually perfect specimens and were ob- tained at $25 each, a fraction of their market value. Within two days crates were constructed and the birds packed.

In May, the Pigeon Section of the Signal Corps, U. S. A., deposited in the Park six homing pigeons, all of which had seen service in the trenches of France, one having been wounded in action. These birds attracted much attention on Members’ Day and now are exhibited at the south end of the Pheasant Aviary. One of the most important events of the year was the ship- ment of a collection of 224 birds of 106 species, as part of the Society’s gift to the Zoological Gardens of Antwerp. Packed in more than sixty cases, the birds were placed on the 8.8. H'glantier and left for Antwerp on October 1, in charge of Keeper Louis Wahl. The passage was slow and rough, but Antwerp was reached with very little loss. Keeper Wahl is entitled to great credit for his diligence and care. The American Ornithologists’ Union held its annual meeting at the American Museum of Natural History from November 11 to 138, and visited the Zoological Park on the 14th. The members of the Union were entertained at luncheon in the Administration Building where they received an address of welcome from Di- rector Hornaday. After viewing the paintings of big-game ani- mals and the Heads and Horns Collection, the buildings and in- stallations of the Department of Birds proved the center of,in- terest and the collections were thoroughly inspected. During the year, the distribution of animals and birds which died in the Park was continued by the Curator. A total of 293 specimens were assigned to the institutions where they were most needed.

DEPARTMENT OF REPTILES RAYMOND L. DiTMArs, Curator; JOHN TooMEy, Head Keeper. Notwithstanding the handicaps of war, the collection of rep- tiles brought together during 1919 was the most imposing that ever has been exhibited during the history of the Park. The foundation of this fine exhibition was formed in the spring when the Curator of Reptiles, assisted by Head Keeper Charles E. Snyder, spent several weeks hunting specimens in the cypress swamps and hummocks of Jasper County, South Carolina. This work was made possible through the courtesy and the generous hospitality of the members of the Pineland Club, and most of the collecting was over the extensive and thoroughly wild reserva- TWENTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT 719 tion of the Club. The following specimens were captured and shipped to the Park: Seven alligators; 4 gopher tortoises; 10 box tortoises; 39 mud turtles; 5 diamond-back rattlesnakes; 10 water moccasins; 2 copperhead snakes; 1 pine snake; 7 coachwhip snakes; 10 blacksnakes; 3 corn snakes; 11 chicken snakes; 4 ring-necked snakes; 1 scarlet snake; 1 mud snake; 4 sand ‘‘adders’’; 12 hog- nosed snakes; 8 banded water snakes; 2 pilot water snakes; 1 red-bellied water snake; 1 green garter snake; 1 red garter snake; 11 king snakes; 1 blue-tailed lizard; 1 red-headed lizard; 2 race-runners; 10 fence swifts and 6 chameleons, a total of 175 specimens, representing 30 species. A considerable part of the Curator’s vacation period was spent in visiting mountain ledges in New York, Connecticut and Massachusetts, where “dens’’ of rattlesnakes had been located. This hunting resulted in the capture of a fine series of timber rattlers, which filled several cages. Keeper George Palmer returned from a vacation trip in August with over a hundred harmless snakes, of eleven species. These specimens formed a splendid display in the lobby of the Reptile House, where they were provided with descriptive labels to set forth the reptiles of New York State. Through considerable correspondence the Curator of Rep- tiles obtained a very rich series of turtles and tortoises, which formed an attractive display in the numerous yards of the turtle tank. Among the more important gifts received during the year were the following: Six alligators; 1 caiman; 1 matamata; 1 red-footed tortoise; 2 Muhlenberg’s turtle; 1 Cuban turtle; 1 South American tegu; 1 African chameleon; 1 iguana; 8 Texas horned toads; 32 rattle- snakes; 3 copperhead snakes; 1 water moccasin; 1 red garter snake (exceptional variety) ; 60 Arizona water snakes; 1 gopher snake; 1 bull snake and 1 Boa constrictor. Among the more important purchases during 1919 were the following: Two iguanas; a series of small lizards from Arizona; 4 ana- condas; 7 Boa constrictors; 2 Central American boas; 10 Texas ‘usoques “Yy UIM[A Aq Ydearsojoyd e wor “oyEULI[D INO FO SalzlolIjUeDd9 9Yy} a}Idsep ‘y1eq 9Y} Ul petedsoid sey jeYy} selveds 4svoD oyIoeg VW qaadd Ga TIVL-YOV1Id NVIGWNTIOO ioe TWENTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT $1 rattlesnakes; 20 copperhead snakes; 8 gopher snakes; 4 bull snakes; 6 coachwhip snakes; 6 king snakes; also various smaller lizards, snakes, turtles and tortoise from the eastern United States. In British Guiana, at the Tropical Zoological Station, Di- rector Beebe collected a number of interesting reptiles, amphi- bians and fishes in the vicinity of the station. Among these were a very handsome specimen of the ringed tree-boa, a Boa con- strictor, an iguana and an armored cat-fish. No large and costly specimens of the reptile collections were lost during the past year. The following reptiles and amphibians were crated and shipped to Belgium, along with the mammals and birds pre- sented by the Society to the Antwerp Zoological Gardens: One 8-foot alligator; one 6-foot alligator; six 3-foot alli- gators; 1 Madagascan radiated tortoise; 6 painted turtles; 2 snapping turtles; 4 slider terrapins; 2 South American boas; 2 Texas rattlesnakes ; 2 copperhead snakes; 2 blacksnakes; 6 garter snakes; 4 gopher snakes; 4 bull snakes and 6 bull frogs.

The subscriptions, donations and dues reported as received and the income from investments, have been properly accounted for, and the secur- ities and cash on hand at December 31, 1919, as shown in the accounts of the Funds presented herewith, have been checked and found in order. Satisfactory vouchers have been produced for all expenditures. MARWICK, MITCHELL, PEAT & Co., Chartered Accountants. 79 Wall Street, New York. March 17, 1920. Report of the Auditing Committee OF THE NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY To the Presidents and Board of Managers of the New York Zoological Society: Dear Sirs: We beg to report we have examined the annual audit of the books and accounts of the New York Zoological Society for the year ending December 31, 1919, as made by Messrs.
