TO THE MEMBERS OF THE PENSION FUND OF THE 

 AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY: 



It is with pleasure that the Pension Board 

 informs you of certain amendments to the Rules 

 and Regulations which have been adopted by the 

 Board of Trustees, and we hand you herewith a 

 revised copy in which these amendments are 

 inc luded . 



In brief the changes are as follows: 



Section 2. Now permits the Pension Board 

 to elect such other officers as it may 

 deem advisable, and makes the Assist- 

 ant Treasurer an ex-officio member of 

 the Pension Board. 



Section 13. This section is now so re- 

 vised as to permit the designation of 

 a beneficiary without restricting the 

 same to a member of the family or one 

 of the same line of consanguinity. 



Section 1§. This section is so amended 

 as to conform to the general provi- 

 sions of Section 13. 



Section 19. Provides as now amended that 

 in the event of there being no desig- 

 nated beneficiary, any gratuity that 

 may accrue will be paid according to 

 the order of precedence as is therein 

 provided, and is further amended so 

 that the issue of any deceased employee 

 takes precedence over those relatives 

 of the next blood degree, and further 

 provides that if there are no desig- 

 nated beneficiaries or a relative sur- 

 viving within the degrees mentioned, 

 that any gratuity which accrues will 

 then be paid to the executors or admin- 

 istrators of the deceased employee.
