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
