and moving-picture privileges do not by any 
means pay one-half of the annual expenses of 
the Society’s photographic department —nor 
•were they ever expected to do so! 
We repeat that this grand collection of photo¬ 
graphic records has been made solely as a mat¬ 
ter of duty to science, to art and to education, 
and the thought of possible net profits to the 
Zoological Society never for a moment entered 
into consideration. We leave it to the taxider¬ 
mists, animal painters, sculptors and educators 
to speak or to keep silent regarding the value 
of our pictures to them. 
It is a satisfaction to be able to state that the 
value of the Society’s collection of animal photo¬ 
graphs is well attested by the patronage of some 
of the most famous educational institutions in 
our land. Many museums and scientific organ¬ 
izations have obtained from the Zoological So¬ 
ciety large collections of selected photographs 
and now keep them on file for reference pur¬ 
poses and for practical use. The following in¬ 
stitutions have obtained photographs represent¬ 
ed by the figures set opposite their respective 
names: 
American Museum of Natural History..990 
Museum of Comparative Zoology.556 
Field Museum . 476 
Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences. .359

The Society lias given away 3,559 photo¬ 
graphs to scientific and educational institutions, 
to people planning new zoological parks, and 
to newspapers, magazines and books making for 
the promotion of zoological knowledge, and over 
ll,0i00 in various other places. 
The number of standard works of reference 
that have used our photographs in large quan¬ 
tities and the number of publishers that have 
obtained them for their text books, magazines 
and other publications, is perfectly satisfactory.
