* The annual appropriation of the City can be used only for the maintenance 

 of the Museum and is inadequate for this purpose. It cannot be used for the pur- 

 chase of specimens or for the expenses of exploring and collecting expeditions. The 

 deficiency in maintenance for 1917, amounting to $92,300, has been met from 

 the Trustees' General Account.
