A2 NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY 
FINANCES. 
Owing to the policy of your committee of keeping expendi- 
tures within our known resources the Society closes the year 
in a fair financial position, despite the unsettled conditions of 
the past year. The balances to the credit of the several funds 
as of December 31, 1915, are as follows:

The above balances are in the Farmers’ Loan and Trust 
Company, and upon the recommendation of Mr. Percy R. Pyne, 
Treasurer, said Trust Company has been appointed Assistant 
Treasurer of the Society, to take effect January 1, 1916, and is 
to be vested with the same powers and duties as those now pos- 
sessed by the Treasurer. This will greatly facilitate the work 
of the Treasurer’s Department. 
INCOME ACCOUNT. 
The general income of the Society, including that from the 
Endowment Fund, was insufficient during the year to meet cur- 
rent expenses, and it was necessary to use a portion of the cash 
balance on hand at the beginning of the year. 
The annual cash subscription of $3,640 to the Pension 
Fund, which is taken from the general income of the Society, 
is responsible for this deficit. 
The balance of the Society’s subscription to this fund, which 
totals $8,000, is made up by the income from the fund of $100,000
