FOURTH ANNUAL MEETING OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF 
MAMMALOGISTS 
The fourth annual meeting of the American Society of Mammalogists was held 
in the American Museum of Natural History, New York City, May 16-18, 1922. 
There were 52 members in attendance. One of the more important items of 
business transacted was the hearty endorsement of the raising of a publication 
fund in honor of the late Dr. J. A. Allen. This fund is to be known as the Allen 
Memorial Fund and is to be administered by the directors of the Society. It is 
planned to raise not less than $10,000, the income of which shall be used for the 
publication of certain numbers of the Journal of Mammalogy to be dedicated to 
the memory of Doctor Allen. Thus in creating this fund we shall not only honor 
this eminent and pioneer mammalogist, our first honorary member, and a man 
beloved by all who knew him, but we shall also make possible the publication of a 
number of the Journal about once every year from the proceeds of the fund. 
This should enable us to increase the pagination of each number of the Journal 
to at least 100 pages. Each member of the Society will be given an opportunity 
to contribute to the memorium. Let us make an actual sacrifice for this cause, 
realizing that by so doing we shall not only continually bring to life the memory 
of Doctor Allen, but shall enhance our more selfish interests by improving the 
Journal of Mammalogy. The Allen Memorial committee appointed by the presi- 
dent consists of Mr. Madison Grant, chairman; Dr. Henry Fairfield Osborn; 
Mr. Childs Frick; Dr. George Bird Grinnell, and Mr. H. E. Anthony. Local 
committees to act with the central committee may be appointed later. 
The Directors of the Society sanctioned the organization of the Southern 
California Section of the American Society of Mammalogists, of which Mr. A. B. 
Howell has been elected president, and Mr. Luther Little secretary. 
The competitive exhibition of photographs of mammals, installed by the 
American Museum of Natural History in connection with the meeting, was a
