PART I.— THE FUND 



REPORT ON THE PERMANENT FUND 



THE completion of the Permanent Fund, at least up to 

 the minimum figure originally fixed upon, has been 

 accomplished in close conformity with our original belief 

 and hope, that it would be possible through a few subscrib- 

 ers and large amounts. There are 30 Founders and 43 Sub- 

 scribers. The story of the completion of the Fund is set 

 forth on page 12 of the Bulletin section of this volume. We 

 append a complete list of the sums subscribed up to date, 

 all of which save one have been paid in, and now are earn- 

 ing an income of 5 per cent, or more. 



In addition to the above, at least one bequest has been 

 written into a will for the benefit of the Fund. 



The agencies by which the Fund was completed will be 

 interesting to all friends of wild life. Our previous State- 

 ment showed subscriptions to the end of 1914 amounting 

 to $51,980. By November 17, 1915, the following persons 

 had increased their subscriptions by the amounts shown, 

 plus $575 added since that date :
