34 NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY 



As a nucleus of a Million Dollar Fund, the Executive Com- 

 mittee decided to raise, by immediate subscription, the sum of" 

 $250,000 before the first of January, 1911, and with the special 

 assistance of some of the friends of the Society, this amount was 

 secured. The income derived from this sum will do little more 

 than enable the Society to comfortably carry on its work on the 

 present basis, without any enlargement or extension; but the 

 Committee hopes that this permanent fund will rapidly increase 

 through special subscriptions and more particularly through be- 

 quests. The income from a million dollars would enable the 

 Society to greatly extend and perfect its work. 



The Executive Committee takes this opportunity to extend 

 the thanks of the Society for the timely generosity of the sub- 

 scribers to the Fund, who are as follows :
