Secretary. Such gifts would be greatly appreciated by 

 the Society. 



The Society is collecting for its permanent records 

 all historical data that can be obtained, so that hereafter 

 any student of American Bison history may find every- 

 thing at hand in the Society records that he may wish 

 relating to that species. During the year we have re- 

 ceived some valuable donations of old buffalo guns, 

 bows, arrows and other implements and weapons used 

 in the extermination of the great herds of bison; also 

 donations of clippings, old prints, photographs and 

 other interesting matter relating to the buffalo, and all 

 members are requested to assist in making this collec- 

 tion as complete as possible. 



Nothing further has been done towards the secur- 

 ing of a permanent home for the Society. The 

 building committee of the New York Zoological Society 

 owing to the high cost of material, and other reasons, 

 has decided to hold back their Heads and Horns build- 

 ing until some future date. The subscriptions received 

 have been invested in ITnited States Liberty Loan 

 Bonds.
