white rhinoceroses. Permits have been secured and the expedi- 

 tion will start early in 1911. 



ROCKEFELLER FOUNTAIN 



During the year the Rockefeller Fountain, presented to the 

 Park by Mr. William Rockefeller, was removed from its original 

 site to the circle in the Concourse, and the expense was defrayed 

 by the donor. 



NEW BUILDINGS AND INSTALLATIONS 



In addition to several small buildings and an important cen- 

 tral Public Comfort Station that were constructed during the 

 year, the Administration Building was at last thrown open to the 

 use of the members of the Society. It is located at the north- 

 east corner of Baird Court, and can be closely approached by 

 automobiles and carriages. Its use is restricted to the officers 

 and members of the Society and their guests, and special accom- 

 modations have been provided for the comfort of ladies and chil- 

 dren. Every effort has been made to render the use of this build- 

 ing convenient for members, and your Committee believes that it 

 will serve as a meeting place for members. 



The building contains the library of the Society and the 

 splendid collection of heads and horns, which has now attained 

 most notable proportions. 



NATIONAL COLLECTION OF HEADS AND HORNS 



This undertaking has already secured the interest of a large 

 number of sportsmen and naturalists, and its importance and 

 value is steadily growing. Already the Collection has become 

 famous throughout the world, and its standing as a permanent 

 feature in the Park is thoroughly assured. 



During the late winter and early spring, the Director spent 

 months of diligent labor in measuring, arranging, hanging and 

 labelling the Heads and Horns Collection of 688 specimens. The 

 Collection completely fills the two picture galleries in the Admin- 

 istration Building. The walls are so densely crowded with speci- 

 mens it is plainly evident that a special building is needed to ac- 

 commodate the Collection and provide for its growth. The 

 general public is keenly desirous of viewing the Heads and 

 Horns, and it is only fair that provisions should be made which 

 will enable the Zoological Society to gratify this legitimate desire. 

 A separate building for the National Collection should be pro- 

 vided at an early date.
