REPORT 
OF THE 
Board of Directors. 
Philadelphia, April 23d, 1891. 
HE Board of Directors of the Zoological Society of Phil- 
adelphia submit to the members and loan-certificate 
holders this their Nineteenth Annual Report of the busi- 
ness and operations of the Society from 1st of March, 1890, 
to 1st of March, 1891. 
Members. 
The number of members on the 1st of March, 1891, was : — 
Annual members 407 
Life members 1,276 
Corresponding members 7 
Honorary members 14 
Perpetual members 259 
Total members (exclusive of loan-holders), 1 ,963 
After careful consideration the Board has resolved to re- 
duce the price of admission to the Garden on Saturdays 
and legal holidays, except the 4th of July, to ten cents for 
adults and five cents for children. It is hoped that a 
largely-increased attendance will be the result, so that the 
Board will not be compelled to recall this effort made to 
popularize the Garden.
