THE WORK OF THE COMING YEAR. 
The programme for the year 1901 includes the following im- 
portant items: 
The construction of the storehouse and workshop building, the 
Monkey House, the Lion House, the development of the south 
half of Baird Court, the extension of the Motor Road from Pel- 
ham Avenue to the Boston Road, the building of additional walks 
and paths, and the location of enclosures for certain types of an- 
imals not yet provided for. 
A very important improvement is under consideration for that 
portion of the Park lying east of the Bronx River, in which it-is 
hoped to secure the co-operation of the City in the development 
of the various approaches to the Park on the south, east, and west. 
Among the scientific duties of the coming year will be the ex- 
tension of our records of the lives of animals in captivity, their 
treatment in disease, and a series of careful experiments in the 
acclimatization of types of deer and prong-horns from the Rocky 
Mountain region. 
In conclusion, the Executive Committee desires to acknowl- 
edge the cordial and intelligent co-operation of the following City 
officers: Commissioner Moebus, of the Borough of the Bronx, 
and his staff; Landscape Architect De Wolf, the Mayor, the 
Comptroller, the Corporation Counsel, and, in fact, of all the 
City officials who are in a position to aid in promoting the success 
of the Zoological Park. 
We also desire to commend most warmly the efficient manage- 
ment of the Park by the Director and his staff of assistants, in 
all departments of the Park service. 
Respectfully submitted, 
HENRY FAtRFIELD Osporn, Chairman.
