96 NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY 
Bulletin.—During the year 1920 printer’s prices reached 
their maximum heights, and it is a satisfaction to know that 
these rates are now on the decline. 
It behooves all writers and editors to proceed with caution 
to avoid large bills for author’s alterations and extra time 
charges. 
Six numbers of the Bulletin were issued in somewhat easier 
fashion than during the previous year of 1919. The standard 
of this publication has been maintained, and the numbers issued 
in 1920 were of unusual interest. Paper stock even now is not 
easily obtained, and when obtained it varies in color and weight. 
It is a strange fact that war was needed to forcefully demon- 
strate the scarcity of materials that are required to make print- 
ing papers, and to furnish the courage among paper makers to 
put the price at the highest point. 
Dr. Townsend and his staff produced two noteworthy issues 
of the Bulletin. One of them was devoted to the evolution of the 
Aquarium Building, and was illustrated with numerous pictures 
from a series of old drawings and engravings of the ancient 
Aquarium and some of its notable visitors, with text matter of 
unusual historical interest. 
Mr. Herbert Lang contributed the text and illustrations for 
an article on the white rhinoceros. The matter was sufficient to 
make 28 pages of text, and 32 rare illustrations of this wonder- 
ful animal, from photographs by Mr. Lang, accompanied the 
article. Like Mr. Grant’s “Saving the Redwoods,” a special 
cover made this one of the most striking Bulletins ever issued by 
the Society. 
Dr. Murphy of the Brooklyn Institute contributed an inter- 
esting article on the Zoo of Lima, Peru. Another article of very 
particular importance was ‘‘Remarkable Habits of the Sage 
Grouse,” by R. Bruce Horsfall. Mr. Horsfall supplied some 
of his beautiful pen drawings and paintings for illustrations, as 
well as contributing the text. 
Annual Report.—The Annual Report of the Society was 
issued in the form of previous years and in all respects compared 
favorably with other issues of this volume.
