PRIVILEGES OF MEMBERSHIP. 



The acceptance by the Zoological Society 

 of the management of the Aquarium adds to 

 the special advantages of membership in the 

 Society a new feature of considerable impor- 

 tance. Our members will be brought in close 

 touch with the new institution, and through 

 it they will become acquainted with the only 

 class of vertebrates which is not represented 

 at the Zoological Park. 



The crowded condition of the Aquarium 

 during the hours it is open to the public will 

 render the privilege of a quiet and satisfactory 

 view one which members of the Society surely 

 will value. In order to enable members of 

 the Society, and also a few special students, 

 an opportunity to view the extensive collec- 

 tions of the Aquarium to the best possible ad- 



vaiUage the Aquarium will be opened from lo 

 -A.M. until 12 every Monday and Thursday 

 mornings only to members of the New York 

 Zoological Society who exhibit their member- 

 ship tickets, or else present tickets good for 

 entrance to the Zoological Park. In view of 

 the fact that the building is situated so near 

 to the most crowded section of New York the 

 pressure of visitors is very great. 



The Zoological Society desires and needs an 

 annual membership of 3,000 persons, each 

 paying $10.00 per year. This would mean an 

 annual income of $30,000.00, to be expended 

 chiefly on objects of special benefit to the mem- 

 bers of the Society. In the Zoological Park 

 it would insure the speedy erection of a fine 

 Administration Building, the creation of a 

 great Zoological library and picture gallery, 

 the establishment of lecture courses, the issue 

 of many highly desirable publications about 

 animals, and much work of an educational and 

 scientific character. In a very short time the 

 special privileges accorded to members of the 

 Society will be well worth the amount of their 

 annual dues. It should be remembered that 

 there is no initiation fee. Annual members 

 pay $10.00 on May ist of each year, and the 

 fee for life members is $200.00. Every person 

 interested in the objects of the Society and 

 willing to aid in promoting them is cordially 

 invited to sign an application for membership, 

 and forward it by mail to the Secretary, Madi- 

 son Grant, Esq., No. 11 Wall Street, New 

 York City. 



With this number of the Bulletin we en- 

 close to members a slip to contain the names 

 and addresses of friends who might be in- 

 vited by the Executive Committee to join the 

 organization. To all persons whose names 

 and addresses are furnished by members of 

 the Society the Committee will extend a cor- 

 dial invitation, accompanied by some one of 

 the Society's publications.
