AMERICAN SOCIETY OF MAMMALOGISTS 
The Fourth Annual Meeting of the American Society of Mammalogists will be held in New 
York City, May 16-18, 1922. Sessions the first two days, May 16-17, will be devoted to the 
reading of papers, discussion, and business, and will be held from 10:00 a. m. to 4:30 p. m., each day, 
in the American Museum of Natural History, 77th Street and Central Park West. A session will 
also be arranged for the evening of May 17. May 18 the Society will visit the New York Zoological 
Park as guest of the New York Zoological Society. There will also be opportunities to visit the 
Brooklyn Museum, the New York Aquarium and other institutions of interest to members. The 
meeting promises to be one of unusual interest and importance, and you are urged to be present. 
Members are earnestly requested to present papers at this meeting and titles should be sent 
to the Corresponding Secretary as early as possible. These should reach him at Washington by 
April 25, in order that the program may be printed and mailed to each member before the meeting. 
Please state the time required for delivery of each paper and the demonstration appliances needed. 
Each paper without lantern slides or reels will be limited to thirty minutes. Illustrated papers will 
be allowed forty minutes. 
By recommendation of the Directors the following amendment to Article III, Section 1, of the 
By-Laws will be presented to the Society for action. Insert the words “the Ex-Presidents” fol- 
lowing the word “Editor,” so that the section as amended will read: “The Officers of the Society 
shall be a President, two Vice Presidents, a Recording Secretary, a Corresponding Secretary, and 
a Treasurer. These, together with the Editor, the Ex-Presidents, and ten persons elected from the 
Society at large, shall constitute the Board of Directors of the Society.” 
Headquarters will be at the Hotel Majestic, West 72d Street at Central Park, five blocks south 
of the American Museum of Natural History. Owing to the crowded condition of hotels, the mak- 
ing of early reservations is urged. 
The rates at the Majestic are as follows: 
Room with bath, one in room $5.00 
Room with bath, two in room 5.00 
Room with bath and twin beds 5.00 
Room without bath, one in room 3.00 and 3.50 
Room without bath, two in room 4.00 
Reservations might also be made at the Hotel San Remo, West 74th & 75th Streets at Central 
Park. 
Each member is requested to nominate at least one member for election to the Society. A 
nomination card for this purpose is enclosed herewith. 
Members are urged to pay their annual dues as soon as possible. If all dues can be paid 
promptly, it will save a great deal of extra work and expense in the office of the Corresponding 
Secretary and the Treasurer.
