ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY BULLETIN. 



York Legislature ^May 17th, 1905, as the suc- 

 cessor of the Natural Science Asociation of 

 Staten Island, established in 1883. The latter 

 published volumes of Proceedings. The new 

 organization has commenced the publication 

 of a second series of Proceedings, and will 

 also issue Memoirs, containing more elaborate 

 monographs. 



The Association has an excellent general 

 collection of local material, and under the 

 terms of its charter, enabling it to receive mu- 

 nicipal appropriations for equipment and 

 maintenance, expects soon to establish a pub- 

 lic museum chiefly for the benefit of the peo- 

 ple of Richmond Borough. Its collections are 

 still small. 



With the transfer of the museum in the near 

 future to its permanent quarters in the new 

 Borough Building special efforts will be made 

 to enlarge the biological collections and es- 

 tablish an interesting and valuable exhibition 

 series. The library of the Association, per- 

 haps its most valuable asset, contains many 

 complete files of periodicals and serials, being 

 especially rich in those devoted to entomology. 



The President of the Association is Mr. 

 Howard Randolph Bayne, the Secretary Dr. 

 Arthur Hollick. The administration of the 

 museum and library is vested in the Curator, 

 Mr. Charles Louis Pollard. Pending the re- 

 moval to the Borough Building the collections 

 are stored in the Staten Island Academy at 

 New Brighton. 



The American Bison Society was organized 

 in 1906 for the purpose of promoting the per- 

 petual preservation of the American Bison. 

 It is the belief of its members that this end 

 can be assured only through national and 

 state ownership of several herds breeding and 

 roaming free in very large ranges. The effort 

 of the Society to secure the establishment of a 

 New York State herd, located in the Adiron- 

 dacks on a range embracing about twelve 

 square miles of grazing grounds, came very 

 close to achieving success. The Society's 

 measure was passed, unaniiitouslv, by both 

 houses of the New York legislature, but 

 was most unexpectedly vetoed by Governor 

 Hughes, without a hearing. 



The Society is now actively engaged in 

 making a thorough examination of the Flat- 

 head Indian Reservation, in northwestern 

 Montana, with a view to the establishment 

 there of a national herd. 



The active officers of the Society are Dr. 

 William T. Hornaday, President; Professor 

 Franklin W. Hooper and Mr. A. A. Anderson, 

 Vice-Presidents; Mr. Ernest H. Baynes, Sec- 

 retary, and Mr. Clark William.s, Treasurer.
