The accounts of the Society and of the Zoological Park and 

 Aquarium for the year 1914, are at present being audited by 

 Messrs. Marwick, Mitchell, Peat & Co., whose printed report 

 will be hereto attached immediately following the report of the 

 Treasurer. This audit also includes the Privilege Departments. 



To facilitate the yearly report of the auditors, the Auditing 

 Committee has authorized a quarterly audit to be made of the 

 books of the Society, instead of once a year, as heretofore; the 

 cost to be the same, and the present system of checking the 

 accounts to remain unchanged. 



Income Account. — The general income of the Society, in- 

 cluding that from the Endowment Fund, was barely sufficient to 

 meet the current expenses of the Society during the year. It 

 is important that the income for this account should be mate- 

 rially increased by an increase in the membership and in the 

 Endowment Fund. During the year 1915 strong efforts will be 

 made by your committee in both these directions. 



During the year this account has suffered from the loss of 

 the Sustaining Memberships, which have proved of very substan- 

 tial assistance to the Society during the last five years. These sub- 

 scriptions have expired, and only 19 of the subscribers have 

 renewed for a further period. This account has been further 

 depleted by the necessity of paying in the Society's share of the 

 Pension Fund contribution for 1914, amounting to $1,795.12. 



The balance to the credit of this fund on December 31, 1914, 

 amounted to $15,978.88.
