POPULAR MISCELLANY. 



The Proposed Monument to Andnbon. — 



At the recent meeting in New York of the 

 American Association for the Advancement 

 of Science, the fact that the remains of the 

 great naturalist Audubon lie in an obscure 

 and little-visited portion of Trinity Ceme- 

 tery, New York city, and that his tomb is

 suitable monument was appreciated. The 

 Audubon plot in Trinity Cemetery will 

 probably be disturbed by the continuation 

 westward of One Hundred and Fifty-third 

 Street. The trustees of the cemetery have,

 York Academy of Sciences, a committee 

 was appointed to solicit funds and make 

 all arrangements for a monument. It con-
