HOSPITALITY TO SOCIETIES 



The Museum has continued to extend its hospitality to a 

 very large number of local and national scientific societies for 

 lectures or special meetings, and throughout the year many of 

 the leading civic, educational and scientific organizations of 

 the City have been our guests. The regular meetings of the 

 New York Academy of Sciences and Affiliated Societies con- 

 tinue to be held at the Museum, and the Library is the deposi- 

 tory of the valuable collection of books and periodicals received 

 by the Academy. 



In the large auditorium there has been held a series of 

 meetings, including the popular lectures and seances of the 

 New York Academy of Sciences, and the Annual Meeting of 

 the American Scenic and Historic Preservation Society. In 

 cooperation with the American Alpine Club, Dr. William 

 Hunter Workman and Mrs. F. Bullock Workman presented 

 their lecture on the Ascent of the Hispar Glacier. The audi- 

 torium was also placed at the disposal of the Board of Educa-

 Dr. Henry M. Leipziger. 



Among the special exhibitions which have been held in 

 the Museum throughout the year are those of the Aquarium
