and the flight of cut stone steps for the path approach at that 
point are almost completed, under the same Park Depart- 
ment contract as that which provided the walls at the Mosholu 
Parkway approach; most of the filling required for the 
roadway at this Woodlawn Road approach has been put in 
place under the provisions of the same contract, but consid- 
erably more is needed to properly shape the banks; this may 
be supplied as soon as the contractor completes his work ac- 
cording to specifications, which should not be delayed be- 
yond March 1, and it is expected that this very deep filling 
will have settled down so that the driveway may be laid upon 
it during the year. 
We can therefore apparently look forward to the comple- 
tion during the year 1906 of the entire driveway system 
planned for the Garden, except the portion about twelve hun- 
dred feet long extending from the plaza near the stable south- 
ward to the southeastern corner of the grounds, which it is 
useless to build until the Bronx Boulevard, planned to bound 
the Garden to the east, shall have been constructed, for no 
entrance at this southeastern corner can be properly estab- 
lished until that street is built. 
The extension of the path system has gone forward at 
points west and north of the museum building, it being sought 
to connect the Mosholu Parkway approach with the approach 
at Woodlawn Road, and the bridges east of the museum 
building with each other and with these approaches; also at 
points southeast of the museum building and east of the her- 
baceous grounds; but much work still remains to be done 
before the path system can near completion, though about 
one half of the length of path originally planned has now 
been finished; after road-building operations are over the 
path system can be pushed more rapidly to completion. 
It has become apparent to me after watching the distribution 
of visitors along the paths already constructed that it will in 
the end be desirable to supply a considerable length of path 
additional to that originally planned, in order to lead to addi- 
tional points of interest; it is probably best to essentially
