To The President and Board of Managers 



Of The New York Zoological Society: 

 Dear Sirs: — 



We beg to report we have examined the annual audit of the books and ac- 

 counts of the Xew York Zoological Society for the year ending December 31, 

 1916, as made by Messrs. Marwick, Mitchell, Peat & Company, Chartered Ac- 

 countants, and herewith submit the same to you as a complete and satisfactory 

 audit of said books and accounts, including the Carnegie Pension Fund and the 

 Pension Fund Income Account, all expenditures and receipts of the various ac- 

 counts being clearly set forth, and it appearing that the cash on hand and at the 

 various depositories has been verified and found correct, and all securities in 

 which the funds of the Society are invested have been examined and found as 

 reported. 



Expenditures made through the Park Department of the City of New York 

 have not been verified by this audit as such moneys have not passed through the 

 hands of this Society, but are in due course checked and verified by the Comp- 

 troller of the City. 



Respectfully submitted, 



AViLLi A3I White Niles, 



Chairman.
