This is the last meeting that will be held in our present 

 quarters which we have occupied since March 1911. The new 

 Museum building is completed except in regard to some minor 

 interior details, and definite arrangements for moving have been 

 made for the latter part of this month. It is planned to perma- 

 nently close the Museum to the public at 5 p. m. on Saturday, 

 May 18, in order to devote the remainder of the month to the 

 work of final packing and to the transfer of the contents of the 

 Museum and Annex to the new building, which must be accom- 

 plished before June 1. At the present time no date for the open- 

 ing of the Museum in its new quarters can be announced or even 

 predicted. The problem of rearranging the furniture, collections 

 and library will have to be carefully studied and experiments 

 tried, before the final arrangements and installation can be de- 

 termined. 



With this number of the Bulletin its present title will 

 terminate, and the next issue will bear the imprint of the Staten 

 Island Institute of Arts and Sciences, our new corporate name, 

 which became a law March 19, 1918. Certain legal technicalities 

 and necessary changes in official forms have delayed the use of 

 the new name in connection with our book-keeping, correspond- 

 ence and other Museum affairs ; but these will be adjusted and 

 our new name formally adopted before the next Bulletin is 

 issued.
