REPORT OF THE 
PENSION BOARD 
NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY 

N behalf of the Pension Board of the New York Zoological 
Society, I beg to report that this board, consisting of Mr. 
George C. Clark, *Mr. H. Casimir deRham, Dr. Lewis R. Mor- 
ris, Mr. Percy R. Pyne, Mr. Wm. B. Osgood Field, Dr. Charles 
H. Townsend, Mr. H. R. Mitchell, Mr. R. L. Ditmars, and Mr. 
H. W. Merkel, as named by the Executive Committee, has held 
its meetings as heretofore in the offices of Mr. George C. Clark 
on the first Wednesday of every month when there was any busi- 
ness to transact that could not be taken care of by the Secretary 
or the Membership Committee. 
No pensions were granted during the year. Two applica- 
tions were received from employees of the Aquarium, one of 
whom, John Smith, died before the Board could act upon his 
application, and the second, that of Michael L. Lawrence, is still 
pending. 
During the year, seventeen members were lost through death 
or resignations, relieving the fund of nearly 110 years of accu- 
mulated services, as the following table will show:
