OHIO STATE ACADEMY OF SCIENCE. PAl| 
FIELD MEETING. 
The field meeting was held at Wooster May 31 and June 
I, tg01. The weather was pleasant and a goodly number 
of local naturalists took part in the excursions, but only 
three members came from a distance. A few others had 
expressed an intention of coming but were prevented by 
the rainy weather preceding the meeting or by other causes. 
The bog around Brown’s Lake, west of Shreve, proved 
very interesting to botanists and the adjacent woods to 
ornithologists. 
The second day was spent in visiting the Agricultural 
Experiment Station and, by a change of plan, driving up 
the Killbuck valley, where were found many things inter- 
esting to geologists, archaeologists, botanists and ornithol- 
ogists.

the time of his removal to California in 1898 he was one 
of the most honored leaders in all its activities. He served 
as its first president in 1892. His frequent contributions, 
both in the form of papers and in the discussion of subjects 
introduced by others, were always promotive of a high level 
of work and thought in the sessions of the organization.
