SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT. 43 



ural History, the Society can render substantial service to sci- 

 ence in its work upon living types. 



A photograph department has been established under the 

 direction of Mr. E. R. Sanborn, and some very excellent results 

 achieved. The Society intends to publish a series of collections 

 of photographs representing the different orders of animals, and 

 to reproduce the more valuable pictures in book form, both for 

 sale and for scientific purposes. The value of a series of photo- 

 graphs of living animals, carefully taken and recorded, cannot 

 fail to be appreciated by the scientific world and by the public. 

 During the spring an exhibit of some of the more interesting 

 pictures will be held, for the purpose of stimulating public in- 

 terest in the Park. 



PARK ADMINISTRATION. 



During the past year arrangements were made to insure the 

 Society against liability arising from accidents to employees. 

 In this connection, the Committee desires to express its appre- 

 ciation of the admirable manner in which the general adminis- 

 tration of the Park has been conducted under the control of the 

 Director and his stafl:. 



PUBLICATIONS. 



The publications of the Society during the year 1901 consisted 

 of the 3d edition of the Guide Book (the 4th edition is now in 

 process of completion) ; the 3d edition of Hornaday's " Destruc- 

 tion of our Birds and Mammals," in response to a special public 

 demand for its reprinting; the Fifth Annual Report, and a spe- 

 cial publication of the Director's pamphlet on the Mountain 

 Sheep of North America. Bulletins Nos. 5 and 6 have also been 

 published. The form of the Bulletin has been changed in regard 

 to size and binding, and it is intended to reprint some of the 

 earlier numbers, with the current issues, in book form, as soon 

 as a sufficient number have been published to justify this course. 

 In this way a complete history of the proceedings of the Society 

 may be had. Respectfully submitted,
