56 NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY 



CARNEGIE PENSION ENDOWMENT. 



The General Income Fund continues to be burdened with 

 the required annual contribution of $3,665 to the Pension Fund 

 Income Account. While it does not begrudge the provisions of 

 this fund for the safety of its employees, nevertheless the small 

 size of the Carnegie Pension Endowment has been very unfor- 

 tunate for the Society. 



MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. 



The Medical Research Department under Dr. George S. 

 Huntington continued to make use of such material as was re- 

 ceived from our collections. A new system of distribution of 

 dead animals between the Medical Research and the American 

 Museum is now in effect and will produce even better results in 

 the future. A Biological Laboratory is greatly needed at the 

 Park where valuable observations could be made upon the living 

 collections. 



BRONX PARKWAY COMMISSION. 



The great Bronx Parkway, originally urged by the Society to 

 protect Bronx Lake and Lake Agassiz from pollution, is nearing 

 its completion and will be finished in 1923. Several miles of fin- 

 ished roadway have been paved and a still larger portion has been 

 graded, while the river has been in many cases shifted away 

 from the railroad track. Thousands of trees have been planted 

 and the work is assuming a finished appearance. When com- 

 pleted, this parkway will be one of the greatest in the world. 



RECEPTIONS. 



Annual Dinner. — The Thirteenth Annual Dinner to the 

 Board of Managers was held through the courtesy of Watson B. 

 Dickerman, Esq., at 998 Fifth Avenue, on Monday, December 

 26, 1921. 



Reception at the Aqtiarium. — On Tuesday, April 19, 1921, 

 a reception was given to the Prince of Monaco. On Sunday, April 

 17, 1921, a luncheon was tendered him in the Administration 

 Building at the Park, Both of these functions were largely at- 

 tended and the Prince expressed himself as highly gratified with 

 the exhibitions both at the Park and at the Aquarium, and as 

 being especially interested in the National Collection of Heads 

 and Horns.
