This amount, together with the balance on hand January 1, 
1917, made $5,267.57 available for expenditure. The expenses 
amounted to $3,801.94, leaving a balance of $1,465.63 on hand on 
December 31, 1917. 
In view of the war conditions, it was decided not to send the 
expedition this year to South America. Mr. Beebe with one as- 
sistant, however, made a trip to British Guiana and brought back 
the property of the Society which had been left there. 
NATIONAL COLLECTION OF HEADS AND HORNS. 
The only source of income for this fund are transfers made 
from the general Income Account of the Society, and private sub- 
scriptions. There were, however, no transfers made during the 
year, and only one subscription of $15 was received, from Mr. 
John J. Paul. This subscription, together with the balance on 
hand January 1, 1917, of $78.89, made a total of but $93.89 avail- 
able for expenditure. The expenditures amounted to $18.12, 
leaving a balance of $75.77 on hand December 31, 1917. 
The only acquisitions to the collection during the year were 
an Okapi head presented by the American Museum of Natural 
History, and a Black-faced Caribou presented by Dr. and Mrs. F. 
S. Gould, of Santa Barbara, California. 
WILD LIFE PROTECTION FUND. 
The expenditures against this fund during the year amount- 
ed to $86.59. The balance on hand January 1, 1917, was $729.- 
30, and receipts in the amount of $226.30 have been received 
from the sale cf “Our Vanishing Wild Life.’”’ This fund closes 
the year with a cash balance of $869.01, due to the fact that the 
Society’s work in this field now is financed by the Permanent 
Wild Life Protection Fund.
