The thirteenth annual meeting of the Audubon Society of the State 

 of New York, was held at the American Museum of Natural History at 

 3:30 p. M., March 18, 1909. The president of the society. Professor 

 Henry Fairfield Osborn, presided. The report of Miss Emma H. Lock- 

 wood, secretary-treasurer of the society, showed that the activities of 

 the organization in protecting the birds of the State and in supplying 

 material for the use of teachers and others, was limited only by availa- 

 ble funds. INIr. William Dutcher, the president of the National Asso- 

 ciation of Audubon Societies and chairman of the New York societies' 

 Committees on Legislation, presented a report on current legislative 

 matters with particular reference to a bill now before the New York 

 Legislature, the passage of which would practically prohibit the sale of 

 the plumage of all New York State birds for millinery purposes. Mr. 

 Dutcher asked all the members of the Society to urge their representa- 

 tives at Albany to support this bill. Following Mr. Dutcher's report, 

 Mr. Louis Agassiz Fuertes, the well-known bird artist, made an address 

 on birds and their music, which he illustrated with chalk sketches of the 

 birds and whistled imitations of their songs. In connection with this 

 meeting there was an exhibition of paintings of birds by ]Mr. Fuertes, 

 which continued during the succeeding week.
