GEOGRAPHIC NOTES the Philippines, 203; in Alaska, 204; in Porto Rico, 59; in Cuba, 109; in Panama, 96; in Europe, 365, and in Central and South America, 118. The Annual Dinner of the Society was held at the New Willard Hotel on De cember 15, and was largely attended. It is with much regret that the Secre tary records the death of Mrs Gardiner Greene Hubbard, October 20, 1909. The handsome building which she and her family presented to the Society and her constant interest in and assistance of the work of the Society from its organiza tion, in 1888, have been keenly appreci ated by every member of the Society. The following resolution was adopted by the Board of Managers on behalf of the Society, October 23, and sent to the fam ily of Mrs Hubbard as an expression of the sympathy of the Society in their mutual affliction: "The death of Mrs Gardiner Greene Hubbard is to the National Geographic Society a great, an irreparable loss, and to each member of the Board of Man agers comes as a personal bereavement. Her broad and constant interest in the work of the Society, apparent during the decade in which her husband, Gardiner Greene Hubbard, served as its President, has, since his death on December II, 1897, been its greatest stimulus to re newed activity in the work to which he devoted so many years and for the con- duct of which he, twenty-one years ago, became the Society's first President. Her personal interest in its work in behalf of scientific geography and the diffusion of geographic information among the people, her attendance upon its meetings during the long years of its activities, and her individual recognition of the work performed by others in its behalf have been an inspiration to the officers of this Society, the members of the Board of Managers, the speaker upon the plat form, and the Editor at his desk; while her splendid gift of a building which be came at once a home for the Society and a memorial to its founder and first Presi dent now becomes of added interest as a memorial of her own generosity and a practical aid in the diffusion of infor mation to all parts of the country and to all quarters of the world." O. P. AUSTIN, Secretary. Report of the Treasurer, John Joy Edson, for the Year 1909.
