* 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 purchase of speci- 

 mens or for the expenses of exploring and collecting expeditions. The deficiency in main- 

 tenance for 1915, amounting to $57,000, has been met from the Trustees' General Account.
