We have audited the books and accounts of the New York Zoological So- 

 ciety for the year ended December 31, 1913, and certify that the foregoing 

 Schedules "1" to "10" are in accordance with the books,' and, in our opinion, 

 correctly record the transactions relating to the Funds of the Society for the 

 year and the condition of the various Funds as at December 31, 1913. Schedules 

 "3" and "8-B" include records of expenditures amounting to $56,850.51, $151,110.09 

 and $29,100.00 made through the Park Department of the City of New York.

 in the statements submitted so that these may be complete. The subscriptions, 

 donations and dues reported as received have been properly accounted for and 

 the securities and cash in bank and on hand at December 31, 1913, as shown
