Gentlemen : — The undersigned, Trustees of The Society of 

 Natural History, beg leave to submit their report for the year ending 

 April 1, 1895, and state that there has been no change in the invest- 

 ments of the funds of the Society as shown by their report of April 

 3, 1894, except as stated below, namely: 



The demand loan to S. H. Wilder was paid soon after the last 

 report of the Trustees, and was loaned to Samuel Pennywitt, for a 



term of three years. 



The last annual report of the Trustees showed on hand, uninvested, $3,000 00 

 Since that report, there have been paid in : 



The Shields loan for 4,000 00 



The Bender loan for 2,000 00 



Total, $9,000 00 



This fund has been re-invested, all security satisfactory to the 

 Trustees. The principal in each case being payable in Gold Dollars, 

 as follows : 



To John Bender for term of five years $2,000 00

Total $9,000 00 



It will be noticed that the loan to Bender was made and paid 

 back to the Society since the last report. 



The principal of the Blymyer loan has not been paid, but the 

 interest is paid promptly. Through the indorsement of Mr. F. A. 

 Schmidt, and the present status the loan is satisfactory to the Trustees. 



So far as the Trustees are informed, the interest on all of the 

 loans has been paid with a high degree of promptness during the last 

 year.
