]Mr. F. H. Keiinard reported that his Committee had 

 placed in the Mammal Hall of the American JNIuseum of 

 Natural History, a large colored relief map showing the 

 range of the buffalo in early times and the locations of the 

 principal herds still existing. 



Mr. Harry V. Radford spoke of the extended trip he 

 was about to take in the Northwest, and the Executive 

 Committee was authorized to appropriate a sum not ex- 

 ceeding two hundred dollars to enable Mr. Radford to 

 visit the wild w^ood-bison of Athabasca, and report his 

 observations on this herd to the American Bison Society. 



In order to show appreciation of the generosity of those 

 who contributed to the fund for the purchase of the IVIon- 

 tana National Bison Herd, but who were not already 

 members of the Society, it was decided to enroll all sub- 

 scribers to this fund on the Society's books, and on motion 

 each was given the form of membership to which his sub- 

 scription entitled him, viz: — those having subscribed one 

 thousand dollars or more, a patronship; those having sub- 

 scribed one hundred dollars or more, but less than one 

 thousand dollars, a life membership; those having sub- 

 scribed five dollars or more but less than one hundred dol- 

 lars, a membership for one year; those having subscribed 

 one dollar or more but less than five dollars, an associate 

 membership for one year. 



It was further decided that those who had presented 

 the Society with living buffaloes which in the opinion of the 

 Executive Committee were worth one thousand dollars or 

 more, should be made patrons of the Society, and that 

 those who had presented buffaloes, which in the opinion of 

 the Executive Committee were worth less than one thou- 

 sand dollars, should be made life members of the Society. 



The following members were elected to fill the nine 

 vacancies occurring in the Board of JNIanagers: — Mrs. 

 Ezra R. Thayer, Clark Williams, William Lyman Under- 

 wood, Morton J. Elrod, Madison Grant, H. C. Bumpus, 

 C. J. Jones, A. Bowen Perry, and Charles H. Stonebridge. 



The auditing committee appointed by the President 

 reported that the accounts of the Treasurer had been ex- 

 amined and found correct, and the meeting adjourned.
