 tribute to the support of the island through table subscriptions pay 

 $4 per person for each full day; others pay $5 per person for each

 lodging, in addition to the two launch trips required to reach and 

 leave the island.

 continue the operation of the island without interruption.

Eastman Kodak Company $1,000 



New York Zoological Society 300 



American Museum of Natural History 300
