Vol. XI] GRUNSKY—PRESIDEXTS REPORT FOR 1921 509 



ing the year at a total expense of $1,266.53, was made pos- 

 sible by the following donations : 



Wm. C. Van Antwerp $120 A. F. Morrison $200 



Wm. M. Fitzhugh 200 Wm. F. Herrin 200 



J. D. Grant 100 Wm. H. Crocker 200

Adolph B. Spreckels $100 Albert Meyer $250 



Mrs. Anna J. Kaseberg 100 Edward Jesurum 100

 groups of small mammals and fully utilizing the remaining 

 exhibition space.

Aside from the work done by the Academy in its regular 

 departments, the Academy has assisted during the year in the 

 conservation of wild animal life. There was appointed a
