38 NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 



Between the Society and the Park Department, reckoning the 

 erection of buildings, dens, aviaries, and ponds, and the construc- 

 tion of roads, walks, sewers, steps, fences, and grading, work is 

 now proceeding at about twenty-five different points. If the rapid 

 progress now being made all along the line can continue without 

 interruption for three months, the Society will be ready to wel- 

 come the public at the Zoological Park about July 15th. It is of 

 course to be understood, however, that by that date only certain 

 portions of the general equipment will be in readiness, and that 

 work must progress steadily for about three years ere the Society 

 will reach a point where it may pause in its labors and look back 



upon its work. 



Respectfully submitted, 



Henry F. Osborn, Chairman. 



Madison Grant, Secretary.

Levi P. Morton, ex-oMcio, John S. Barnes,
