98 NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY 



Many of the negatives made in the past year of the speci- 

 mens in the wall tanks of the Aquarium are quite unique, and 

 their production is distinctly a step forward in this particular 

 branch of photography. 



Bulletin. — The Bulletin appeared bi-monthly, as usual, and 

 despite the fact that the source of supply for this publication is 

 practically limited to the Park and Aquarium, all of its con- 

 tributors have responded cheerfully to its demands. 



Annual Report. — Although the Annual Report was issued 

 in good season, it was delayed by the changes in the financial 

 statements. 



Zoologica. — Four numbers of Zoologica were issued; and 

 two others, now in type, will be published within a short time. 

 One issue, "The Whale Shark," was published for the Aquarium. 



Cataloging. — A card index of photographs published has 

 been started and already 2,400 cards have been placed in the 

 files. This gives a complete record of the publication place of 

 every photograph sent out for such purposes. It has been 

 brought down to date, as have all records of cuts and plates 

 belonging to the Society. All records of this department are in 

 perfect order, and any cut, die, plate or negative is instantly 

 available. This department's filing system is simple and most 

 effective, and is carried out in the most painstaking way. 



Record Albums. — The Aquarium negatives were transferred 

 from the Aquarium Building and placed in the vaults at the 

 Park. They were sorted, filed, numbered and printed. Over 900 

 negatives were handled and the prints mounted in ten specially- 

 made loose-leaf albums. These were turned over to the Aqua- 

 rium.
