the end in view, based upon a plan which appeared to 
him thoroughly workable. 
The motion was unanimously carried. 
The meeting then proceeded to election of nine 
managers of the Class of 1915, and elected the following 
to the Board: 
Professor Morton J. Elrod, Madison Grant, Col. 
C. J. Jones, J. Alden Loring, Dr. John C. Phillips, C. H. 
Stonebridge, Mrs. Ezra R. Thayer, William Lyman 
Underwood, Clark Williams. 
To fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of 
Mr. Bridgman, Mr. F. H. Kennard was elected to the 
Class of 1913, and to fill the vacancy caused by the 
resignation of Dr. D. G. Elliot, Mr. H. A. Edwards of 
Albany was elected, also to the Class of 1913. 
Upon proposal of Mr. Seymour, seconded by Dr. 
Hornaday, who outlined the great debt of the Society, 
Col. C. J. Jones, better known as “‘Buffalo Jones,” was 
unanimously elected an honorary member of the Society. 
The recent death of Mr. James Philip, owner of 
one of the largest herds of bison in the country, was 
briefly referred to; and the fact that it would be useless 
to ask Congress to appropriate a sum sufficient to pur- 
chase this herd for the United States Government was 
deplored by Dr. Hornaday. 
Professor Hooper stated that he had suggested that 
the administrators of the estate of Mr. Philip present 
say ten or twelve animals to the proposed new herd. 
On motion of Mr. Seymour, it was Voted: That 
Mr. Loring’s report be printed in same form as the 
Annual Report of the Society, and that it be included 
in the Annual Report when that is published. 
On motion of Mr. Stonebridge it was Voted: That the 
Secretary be requested to communicate with the game war- 
dens of Wyoming and Montana, suggesting to them the ad- 
visability of watching and protecting the wild bison which 
occasionally wander out of the Yellowstone National Park. 
The report of the Auditing Committee was then 
received and accepted. 
The meeting then adjourned. 
WILLIAM P. WHARTON, 
Secretary.
