It is hoped that the members of the Society, and sportsmen gen- 
erally, will from time to time present to the Society notably fine 
specimens, which will be properly exhibited. It is the intention of 
the Society to show a complete set of each type of heads of each 
species of large American game. 
PRESERVATION OF BRONX RIVER. 
During the year the Society obtained the appointment of a 
Commission to consider the possibility of the preservation of the 
entire Bronx Valley from Bronx Park to Kensico Dam, under 
the Chairmanship of the Secretary of this Society. This Com- 
mission has reported to the Governor in favor of the proposed 
parkway, and expects to obtain during the year of 1907 legisla- 
tion which will make possible the creation of a parkway fifteen 
miles long, affording complete protection to the river and its 
banks. This done, Bronx River can be saved for the uses of the 
Zoological Society for all time. 
NEW YORK AQUARIUM. 
During the year the work of improvement at the Aquarium 
was continued. New boilers and a ventilating system were 
installed, and the long continued work of replacing the rusted 
out iron pipe with new lead lined pipe went on. As soon as the 
new lead lined pipe is completely installed, the storage reservoir 
can be placed in commission and this much needed improvement 
made available.
