VIEW OF THE CHUTE SHOWING METHOD OF LINING WITH SMOOTH LUMBER TO PREVENT 
INJURY TO ANIMALS 
of fourteen full-blooded bison to constitute the nucleus 
herd, and for the care taken by the Society to have the 
animals properly crated for the shipment. 
The Society has pledged itself to the National Goy- 
ernment to place at least fifteen buffaloes in this new 
Preserve. It will be incumbent on the Society to add 
to the herd during this coming season of 1914 addi- 
tional buffaloes, and it appears to be desirable that the 
buffaloes hereafter added should come from private 
herds in South Dakota, or in neighboring states. 
The work of creating the new Wind Cave National 
Game Preserve will be fully described at this meeting 
by Dr. T. S. Palmer of the Committee on State and Na- 
tional Herds. The nature of the herd presented by the 
New York Zoological Society will be described by Dr. 
William T. Hornaday for publication in the annual 
report of this Society, and an account of the expedition 
to the new Preserve will be given by Mr. H. R. Mitchell 
in charge of the expedition.
