104 NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY 



binturong, wombat, hunting- dog, blotched giraffe, African os- 

 trich, tahr, hartebeest, bush pig, Prjevalsky horses. Grant zebra, 

 Abyssinian lion, black-footed penguin, vultures, emus, kanga- 

 roos, plantings around the Marsh Gardens and various other 

 places. An excellent series of negatives was made of the gorilla 

 including a valuable record of this very interesting animal in 

 motion pictures. The new gallery in the south end of the winter 

 house for pelicans made this possible. The great volume of light 

 diffused through the fine ribbed glass permits rapid exposures ; 

 a valuable aid in working with an active animal. It was possible 

 to allow the gorilla to move about and as she assumed a pose 

 that was of interest, an instantaneous exposure was made. To 

 correct movement with the motion picture camera, the taking 

 speed, in light value, is 1/35 of a second. This time value was 

 exceeded ; an achievement, when it is considered that no arti- 

 ficial light was employed as a contributary aid in making a , 

 negative. 



Bulletin. — Six numbers of the Zoological Society Bulletin 

 were issued in 1914. The fact that we have only the Park and 

 Aquarium to draw upon for material for this publication, consti- 

 tutes a handicap upon it, but it never was designed to occupy 

 a place as a wide-world magazine. 



Annual Report. — The Annual Report was issued in its reg- 

 ular form. 



Zoologica. — Seven numbers of Zoologica were issued and 

 the eighth number is now in hand and will be published shortly. 

 Two of these numbers were prepared for the Aquarium. 



Under the direction of Dr. Townsend, a series of motion 

 pictures illustrating the methods of deep sea dredging, were ob- 

 tained on board the U. S. S. Fish Hawk while the vessel was 

 stationed on Long Island Sound.
