WILD LIFE PROTECTION FUND. 
The expenditures against this fund during the year amount- 
ed to $100.09. The balance on hand January 1, 1916, was 
$648.64, and receipts in the amount of $180.75 have been received 
from the sale of Our Vanishing Wild Life. This fund closes the 
year with a cash balance of $729.30. 
It will be observed that since 1914 the expenditures of the 
Society for this cause have been very small, because of the fact 
that the Society’s campaigns are now financed by the income of 
the Permanent Wild Life Protection Fund.
