Continuation of the Bibliography of Fishes, through Professor

Next to the gift of $300,000 to the Endowment Fund 



by Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan in 1904, and to the large gifts and 



„ „ bequests of Mr. and Mrs. Morris K. Jesup, the 

 Amos F. Eno ^ . , ,. . , , ~ 



most important addition ever made to the Gen- 

 iJequest 



eral Endowment of the Museum is the bequest 



of Mr. Amos F. Eno of $250,000. Mr. Eno, who died on 

 October 21, 1915, had been a Life Member of the Museum 

 for ten years, and an Annual Member previous to this. His 

 generous bequest is significant, first because it is made at a 

 time when there is a general impression that because of the 

 munificent Jesup Bequest of $5,000,000 the Museum is not 

 in need of further endowment, and second because it is a con- 

 tribution to the General Endowment, the income of which 

 is unrestricted. The Jesup Fund provides liberally for the 

 scientific growth, but the internal development of the Museum 

 is dependent largely on the General Endowment, which is 

 still altogether too small for current needs. 



The following is a list of the bequests and gifts that have 

 been made to the General Endowment since the foundation 

 of the fund in 1884:
