The accounts for 1911 are being audited by Marwick, Mitchell, Peat and Company, whose printed report will be at- tached hereto. The Privilege Accounts have been thoroughly audited and found correct in every respect, as appears in a special statement appended hereto. CORPORATE STOCK. New application for funds. A request for funds from Corporate Stock has been made to the Board of Estimate and Apportionment for the year 1912, in the amount of $195,000, for the following :— (1) Construction of Buildings and Yards for Hospital and Quarantine. (2) Building and Heating Plant for Animal Service Buildings. (3) Construction of Ape House. (4) Improvement of Elephant and Lion House Roofs, and Cover of Flying Cage. (5) Construction of Boat House Dock and Improving Bronx Lake. (6) Construction of Fordham Entrance. (7) Development of Park East of Bronx River, plant- ing, walks, fencing, paths, &c. (8): Miscellaneous, including fencing, yards, small in- stallations, &c., and other permanent improve- ments. It is believed that at least a large portion of the above will be received during 1912. NEW AQUARIUM BUILDING. On July 17, 1911, the Board of Estimate and Apportionment passed the following resolution in regard to the new Aquarium Building to be erected at Battery Park on the site of the present Aquarium :— RESOLVED, that pursuant to the provisions of Section 47 of the Greater New York Charter, as amended, the Board of Estimate and Apportionment hereby approves of the issue of corporate stock of the City of New York to an amount not exceeding Two Hundred Thousand dollars ($200,000), to provide means for the construction of the foundation and SIXTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT 45 walls of the wings for the New Aquarium Building in Bat- tery Park, under the jurisdiction of the Department of Parks, Boroughs of Manhattan and Richmond, and that when authority therefor shall have been obtained from the Board of Aldermen, the Comptroller be, and is hereby au- thorized to issue said corporate stock of the City of New York in the manner provided by Section 169 of the Greater New York Charter, the proceeds thereof to the amount of the par value of the stock to be applied to the purposes aforesaid. The above resolution was adopted by the Board of Aldermen on July 31, 1911, and took effect September 19, 1911. No por- tion of this has, as yet, been expended. A request for $600,000 will be made during the coming spring to the Board of Estimate and Apportionment, which can be added to the $200,000 already in hand, and used to build the foundations and a portion of the new building. The plans are being prepared by the architect, Mr. J. Stew- art Barney, and your Committee propose to associate with Mr. Barney as Engineer, Mr. William Barclay Parsons, who will have charge of the construction of the building. IMPORTANT GIFTS TO THE PARK. During the year several valuable gifts were received, in- cluding a Cape hunting dog, three leopards, spotted hyena, two lion cubs and several monkeys received from Mr. Paul J. Rainey. Mr. Emerson MeMillin presented an oil painting entitled, An Old Prospector, and a copy of the original edition of Wilson’s Amer- ican Ornithology. A valuable collection of maps was received from Mr. C. William Beebe, and two mule deer were donated by Col. Anthony R. Kuser. ANIMAL COLLECTIONS. During the year the collection of mammals was strength- ened by the arrival of a number of particularly rare and inter- esting forms. The most notable were a gorilla, a spectacled bear from Ecuador, an Andean black bear, a Cape hunting dog, two wombats, two snow leopards, a spotted hyena and a blessbok. The collection of birds received a great number of species new to the Park, and our list of species on exhibition made a great advance. At this time it is probable that the total number of species on exhibition is equal to the greatest number exhibited 46 NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY elsewhere. As usual, our total number of specimens is far in advance of all other collections of living wild animals. A census of the animals in the Zoological Park, taken on January 1, 1912, shows the following figures, in the number of species and specimens :— Species Specimens Misi GS ass; os eas oe ee 234 710 BIGGS: gsc tere es te a eae ate eee 880 3,022 TEGO UILGS ics serene ota tenets BY 1,106 125i 4,838 NEW BUILDINGS AND INSTALLATIONS. Three animal installations of importance were begun dur- ing the year, two of which were practically completed. The Eagle and Vulture Aviary has been long awaited, and with the opening of spring it will be ready for occupation. The Society has already assembled a very fine collection of rare and interest- ing birds with which to fill the aviary the moment it comes into our possession. The Zebra House is now receiving its roof, and will be ready for occupancy in the early spring. This building, and its two adjacent houses for hardy wild horses, will leave little more to be desired for the accommodation and exhibition of wild equines. The ten new bear dens, chiefly for small species, were com- pleted in December and form a very necessary and valuable ex- tension to our bear installation. The addition gives us a total of twenty-one bear dens, and for the first time renders it possi- ble to bring all our bears into one group. The small tropical species will be specially cared for in winter, by housing in the fronts of their dens. NATIONAL COLLECTION OF HEADS AND HORNS. A superb collection has been received from Mr. Clarence H. Mackay, for the National Collection of Heads and Horns, con- sisting of twelve giant Alaska moose heads, ten elk, and four bison heads. This collection is now exhibited in the Adminis- tration Building and forms ‘one of the most notable gifts ever received by the Society. Mr. John C. Phillips presented a collection of thirty-six pairs of selected horns, which filled many existing gaps in the National SIXTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT AZ Collection. A white rhinoceros head was received from Col. Theodore Roosevelt; a remarkable white-tail deer head from Maine and a record pair of walrus tusks from Mr. Henry A. Caesar, and a pair of Labrador caribou antlers from Mr. H. Hesketh Prichard. The need of spacious and additional galleries for the Heads and Horns Collection is beginning to be felt and can probably be best provided by extending the Administration Building toward the east. LIBRARY. The small fund available for the library has been carefully husbanded and the books that have been purchased during the year were of the most necessary character. Whenever more funds become available, the Committee will take up seriously the acquisition of more zoological works and books of travel con- taining observations on the wild life of the world. A librarian was engaged for a period of four months to arrange and cata- logue the contents of the library, so that the books are now avail- able for use. PUBLICATION DEPARTMENT. During 1911 the Annual Report, six numbers of the Bul- letin, Zoologica No. 7, and a revised edition of the Guide Book were printed. The demand for the Bulletin has increased until several numbers have become exhausted. The fact that num- bers one, six and thirty-five are out of print and several others nearly so, has made it necessary to increase the bi-monthly edi- tion five hundred copies. As a provision for the future, fifty copies from every issue will be stored in the Library at the Ad- ministration Building. The Guide Book was completely revised, reset and freshly illustrated. The abundance of illustrations has greatly increased the sales. FORESTRY DEPARTMENT. The work of this department during the year consisted, as in previous years, in keeping the grounds and buildings in order, supplying food, hauling refuse, policing the Park and regulating the crowds of visitors, and in the installation of a great number of small improvements; such as a bathing pool for the large polar bear Silver King; planting and fencing; grading ground south of the Crotona Entrance; erecting a musk-ox shelter; cleaning the Beaver Pond; enclosing two cages in the Ostrich 4S NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY House with wood and glass; laying of concrete walks; installa- tion of private water pump for sprinkling purposes; substituting concrete and steel for wood in the Reptile House and Aquatic Bird House; overhauling the Primate House and Small Mammal House. The usual amount of live stock, vegetables and ornamental plants were produced by the nursery. The greenhouses are be- coming wholly inadequate to produce the supply of plants re- quired for indoor decoration and bedding. MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. The general health of the mammals during the year 1911 has been excellent. There have been fewer cases of illness than in former years and the death-rate remains at the low mark of the past few years. There has been no epidemic of any kind during the past year, while gastro-enteritis among the hoofed animals, tuberculosis among the primates, and distemper and in- testinal parasites among the carnivores have been less trouble- some than formerly. The records of the medical department for the past ten years are being reviewed for the purpose of preparing a treatise on the diseases of wild animals in confinement, soon to be published by the Zoological Society. PHEASANT EXPEDITION. On May 26, 1911, C. William Beebe, the’ Curator of Birds of the Zoological Park, returned from his trip around the world, having completed a thorough survey of the known species of pheasants. He visited the Kensington Museum in London to inspect the material available there, then visited the southern slopes of the Himalayas and entered far into the mountains at several points. From there he went to Burma, Java, China and Japan. The entire expenses of the expedition and the preparation of the Monograph, which will cost in all between $50,000 and $75,000, have been met by one of the Managers of the Society, Colonel Anthony R. Kuser, of Bernardsville, New Jersey, whose action was dictated by a great love of birds and a desire to do something noteworthy for the New York Zoological Society and for science. Illustrations for this work are being prepared by Charles R. Knight and Louis Agassiz Fuertes in this country, and Major SIXTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT 49 Henry Jones, Archibald Thorburn and George E. Lodge in England. BRONX PARKWAY COMMISSION. A most important step in the development of the Park, has been the grant by the Board of Estimate and Apportionment of sufficient funds to begin the preliminary survey and work for the great Bronx River Parkway, which will extend from Bronx Park to the new Kensico Lake, a distance of thirteen miles, connecting there with the state roads northward. If the Commission is enabled to carry out its plans, the valley of the Bronx and its waters will be protected from pollution, and the permanence of the lake and river system of the Zoological Park will be secured. This will be of incalculable value to the Park and to the public at large. This initial appropriation amounted to $35,000. Three- fourths, viz., $26,250, has been appropriated by the City of New York, and one-fourth, viz., $8,750, by the County of Westchester. The Commission is at present engaged in the completion of the survey and the preparation of maps. EAST SIDE EXTENSION. After long and tedious negotiations and at the urgent in- sistence of the officers of the Society, the forest lands lying to the east of the Park, which were acquired by the City through con- demnation proceedings, have been transferred to the Park De- partment of the Borough of the Bronx, and the old village of Bronxdale with its disreputable shanties, has been at last elim- inated. A plan has been prepared showing a systematic development of roads and paths for the whole district lying east of the Bronx River and covering both the portions under the control of the Zoological Society and that remaining in the hands of the Park Department. It is believed that in the near future the City will prefer to turn this over to the management and control of the Zoological Society, so that it may be properly policed and its superb timber protected. BOARD OF MANAGERS. Acting under the authority conferred by the By-Laws, your Committee elected Mr. Watson B. Dickerman to the Board of Managers of the Class of 1913, to fill the vacancy caused by the 50 NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY resignation of Mr. Nelson Robinson; and Mr. Mortimer L. Schiff to the Class of 1913 to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of his father, Mr. Jacob H. Schiff. At the Annual Meeting the members of the Society elected Mr. Lewis Rutherfurd Morris to the Class of 1915, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Captain John S. Barnes. The following is a calendar of events for the year 1912 :— Meetings, Board of Managers. Annual Meeting Annual Dinner ganuary 16, 1912: February 22, 1912. Park Meeting May 20, 1912.

Members Day May 20, 1912. Sportsmen’s Day June 6, 1912. NEW YORK AQUARIUM. In the year 1911 the collections of the Aquarium were some- what more varied in character than usual. It was found pos- sible to bring tropical fishes from Key West, Florida, which added a considerable number of species that had hitherto not been exhibited at the Aquarium. One of the shipments from Key West was a gift of Mr. Danforth Ferguson of New York. Tropical collections were obtained from Bermuda as_ usual. SIXTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT 51 There could, of course, be no general increase of exhibits with- out increasing the tank space in the building, but all exhibition space was fully occupied. The fish-hatchery was kept in opera- tion during the greater part of the year. The United States Bureau of Fisheries presented a pair of fur-seals from the Pribilof Islands, and in March the Aquarium received six yearling elephant seals from Guadalupe Island, off the west coast of Mexico, where they were taken by the United States Fisheries 8. 5. Albatross. Two of these animals were sent to the National Zoological Park in Washington. The Aquarium was opened to the public at night from May 30 to September 30, and the large crowds of visitors showed that the opportunity to see the collections by night was appreciated by the public. AQUARIUM. The leave of absence granted to Mr. Charles H. Townsend, to enable him to accept temporarily the position of Acting Di- rector of the American Museum of Natural History expired on February 15, 1911, and was extended to June 15, 1911, to enable him to conduct a scientific expedition on the United States S. S. Albatross. Towards this expedition the Society contributed $1,000, and received a large collection of lizards and six of the rare elephant seals, now almost extinct. The seals were placed on exhibition at the Aquarium and grew rapidly, consuming enormous quantities of food. Two specimens have been present- ed to the United States Fisheries Commission at Washington and are now on exhibition at the National Zoological Park. During Dr. Townsend’s absence, Mr. Raymond C. Osburn, the Assistant Director, conducted the administration of the Aquarium to the entire satisfaction of your Committee. Mr. Townsend resumed his duties as Director on June 15, 19L1. PLANS FOR 1912. During the year 1912, the Society proposes to erect an Ape House on Baird Court, on the former site of the Rockefeller Fountain. This new structure is required for the reception of our spiendid collection of anthropoid apes, now numbering four chimpanzees and five orang-utans, some exceptionally intelligent. A special building is needed to secure the continued health and proper exhibition of these animals, which are too valuable to be exhibited in their present quarters, in which adequate quaran- tine, training and keepers’ rooms are lacking. 52 NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY A modern hospital and quarantine is being planned to oc- cupy a portion of the Service Yards to the north of the barns, and when completed will enable the Society to prevent possible infection by quarantine, and to provide proper quarters for sick animals. Your Committee also proposes to construct an Atelier in which work in taxidermy and the mounting of animals can be conducted. It seems only just that in a Zoological Park con- taining such a vast number of live animals, that the same oppor- tunities should be furnished to the taxidermist which are now provided for sculptors and artists. Plans for a Pelican House, which will be used for the stor- age of large water birds during the cold weather, are in the hands of the Park Department. The money has been provided and this structure will be built during the coming year. A Shelter Pavilion must be constructed on the east side of Bronx River for the protection of the crowds in stormy weather ; and the yards for the Zebra House will be taken in hand as soon as the building itself has been completed. It is probable that in the immediate future your Committee will take up the question of providing permanent entrances at the corners of the Zoological Park, beginning with the Pelham Avenue Entrance. These entrances will ultimately form part of a stone and steel fence entirely surrounding the Park. Plans for the enlargement and extension of the Rocking Stone Restaurant are also under consideration, and it is only a question of time when the Administration Building will have to be enlarged to provide more commodious galleries for the exhi- bition of the increasing collection of heads and horns. GAME PROTECTION. During the year, the Society took an active part in the sup- port of the Bayne bill prohibiting the sale of game in New York state. Dr. Hornaday, the Director of the Zoological Park, was especially active, and the successful passage of the bill is largely due to his efforts. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS. The usual acknowledgments to the officers of the Society and the various departments, especially to the different members of the staff of the Park Department of the Borough of the Bronx, are due from your Committee. We cannot too strongly empha- SIXTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT 53 size the cordial relations which have been maintained between the Park and Aquarium and the City authorities. The devotion of the Directors of the Park and of the Aquar- ium and their respective staffs, has continued to be a source of strength to the Society, and of satisfaction to your Committee. We take pleasure in closing this report of progress by assuring the Board of Managers that the Society was never in a stronger position, either in its internal harmony or in its external rela- tions with the City of New York and the public at large. Respectfully submitted, MADISON GRANT, Chairman, Percy Rh: PYNE, WM. PIERSON HAMILTON, SAMUEL THORNE, FRANK K. STURGIS, LEVI P. MORTON, LISPENARD STEWART, WILLIAM WHITE NILES, HENRY FAIRFIELD OSBORN, ex-officio. Resolution of the Executive Committee of the Board of Managers of the New York Zoological Society passed Derember 12, 1911 Capt. John Sanford Barnes mho died at the City of Nem York, November 22, 1911, berame one of the Managers of the New UVork Zoolongi- ral Sorietu, and a member of the Executive Committee in Banuary, 1897, and served artively until his death. Captain Barnes deserves no small share of the credit of the surressful organization of the Soriety, and in its rarly struggles his cheerful enthusiasm and ronti- Deure were a constant source of inspiration and help to his associates, rsperially in the negotiations with the municipal authorities leading to the foundation of the Zoological Park.

The President and Board of Manages 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, 1911, as made by Messrs. Marwick, Mitchell, Peat & Company, Chartered Accountants, and herewith © submit the same to you as a complete and satisfactory audit of said books and accounts, all expenditures and receipts of the various accounts being clearly set forth and the cash on hand and at the various depositories having been verified and found correct. Also all securities in which the funds of the Society are invested have been examined and found as reported. Expenditures made through the Park Department of the City of New York have not been verified by this audit as such moneys have not passed through the hands of this Society, but are in due course checked and verified by the Comptroller of the City. During the year especial attention has been given by your Committee to the further systemization of the accounts of the Privilege Departments, and we now beg to report the auditors state they have found an efficient and satisfactory checking system in use in this department, and that the books and records are well and carefully kept. After consultation with the auditors your Committee have adopted certain additional safeguards which it is thought will still further improve the present methods of protection. Respectfully submitted, HuGH D. AUCHINCLOSS, WILLIAM W. NILES, C. LEDYARD BLAIR, Committee. “ABYOCW "He AOUaIB]C) Aq SuJOF] put speayy jo UOLJOAT[OT) [VUOIEN Ay O} pajuasadg “NOILOATIOD AVYOVW FHL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF THE ZOOLOGICAL PARK TO THE BOARD OF MANAGERS. HE year 1911 was marked by substantial advancement along several lines. The installations for animals gained im- portant additions, the animal collections were greatly strength- ened by new accessions, and the health of the animals continued to be satisfactory. NEW INSTALLATIONS FOR COLLECTIONS The Zebra House.—The old moose range has been dedicated to the wild horses and zebras of the world; and the site is well adapted to the purpose it is now about to serve. The Zebra House itself, an excellent brick structure, one hundred and seventy-four feet long by thirty-six feet wide, contains twelve box stalls and a series of yards connecting therewith on the east. In addition to this, two log barns are situated a few rods west- ward, each of which is surrounded by large corrals. These barns are intended for wild horses and other wild equines that have been acclimatized here and are known to be able to withstand our winters without detriment to their health and comfort. The Zebra House, exclusive of the yards, has been erected by Joseph Balaban, at a cost of $25,181 for the original contract, to which additions have been made. The Eagle and Vulture Aviary.—In accordance with an imperative duty and a long-cherished plan, early in 1911 the Director and Civil-Engineer Beerbower designed an adequate aviary to accommodate the eagles and vultures of the world. Up to this time, a fine collection of the larger birds of prey has been scattered throughout the Park, from the Ostrich House to the Aquatic Bird House, without distinctive character, and therefore quite unappreciated. Moreover, the temporary quarters of the birds of prey at the Aquatic Bird House always have been lamentably inadequate. Occupying the semicircular hillside that originally was used as a caribou range, there now stands an aviary that is fully up to the standard of our other installations. It is 208 feet long, and its depth from front to rear is, in the main, thirty-three feet. It consists of thirteen cages, seven of which are very large and six are of smaller size. The interior of the central, and largest cage is twenty-four feet wide, thirty-three feet deep and thirty-two 68 NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY feet high. At the rear, each cage is provided with an adequate shelter pavilion of concrete. The seven large cages are for the condors, eagles, lammer- geyer, eared vulture and king vulture, and the smaller ones are for the commoner vultures, hawks and falcons. When the eagles and vultures are removed from the cages connected with the Aquatic Bird House, those cages will be devoted exclusiv ely to the collection of owls. In the rear of the Eagle Aviary, a substantial brick building has been erected in which to provide winter quarters for the tropical birds of prey which can not endure the full rigors of winter in the latitude of New York. The Eagle and Vulture Aviary and shelter building have been erected by George Hildebrand, at a total cost of $18,867. The Additional Bear Dens.—Ten additional bear dens were erected last year, and completed in December, at a date too late to transfer to them the tropical species that eventually they will accommodate. There are two large dens for Alaskan brown bears, and eight smaller dens for small bears and single indi- viduals. Early in the spring of 1912, these dens will be filled, and in them will be found the spectacled bear, Malay sun bears, the Andean black bears, Japanese black bear, and others of small size.
