species of wild life as the prong-horned antelope, the 
number of which is being rapidly reduced. 
These various plans and others that will readily oc¢- 
cur to members of the Society, together with the gen- 
eral work of encouragement of the development of ex- 
isting herds, and the increase in the number of public, 
municipal and private herds, will constitute the needed 
work of the Society in the immediate future. 
In closing this, my third annual report, I take the 
opportunity to thank each of the members of the So- 
ciety, all those who have contributed to its work and 
its resources, and all the members of the Board of Man- 
agers who have actively helped during the past season 
in the work of the Society, for their generous and cor- 
dial co-operation. 
Respectfully submitted, 
FRANKLIN W. HOOPER, 
President.
