and entomologist of the experiment station 1888-91. In 1893 he removed 
to Claremont, Calif.. where, for 18 years, until 1911, he was associated 
with Pomona College as professor of biology. During the last five years 
of his life he served as state commissioner of horticulture of California. 
Although primarily an entomologist, Prof. Cook was interested in other 
branches of zodlogy and published several valuable papers on birds. From 
1872 to 1875 he contributed five short articles on the relation of birds and 
insects to the Reports of the Michigan State Pomological Society and the 
State Board of Agriculture and in 1896 one on the ‘Food of Woodpeckers 
and Flycatchers’ to ‘The Auk.’ His principal ornithological contribution 
was his ‘ Birds of Michigan’ published in 1893 as Bulletin 94 of the Michigan 
Agricultural Experiment Station. This report was issued in two editions, 
one containing 148 pages, in April, and the other containing 168 pages, in 
September. It included notes on 332 species and a full bibliography of 
Michigan ornithology. This very useful list, which brought together in 
convenient form the many scattered notes on the birds of the State, was 
reviewed in ‘The Auk’ for 1893, pp. 351-352. Some of the species have 
since been transferred to the hypothetical list and Prof. W. B. Barrows, 
although adding a number of others in his ‘Report on Michigan Bird Life,’ 
in 1912 recognized only 326 species as positively identified within the limits 
of the state. 
Prof. Cook was married twice. On June 30, 1870, he married Miss 
Mary H. Baldwin of Dayton, O., and on July 3, 1897, Mrs. Sarah J. Eldredge 
of Pasadena, Calif. He is survived by the latter, by his son, A. B. Cook of 
Owosso, Mich., and by his daughter, Mrs. Lyman J. Briggs of Washington, 
D. C.— T.S. P. 
Pror. DonaLpson Bonne, an Associate of the American Ornithologists’ 
Union, died on August 26, 1915, at Douglas Lake, Michigan, in the forty- 
ninth year of his age. He was born in Richboro, Pa., December 13, 1866; 
graduated from Cornell University in 1887, and received the degree of 
Se.D. from his Alma Mater in 1895. At the time of his death he was pro- 
fessor of geology and zoélogy in Wabash College, Crawfordsville, Indiana.—

TimotHy Otis Funuer, an Associate of the American Ornithologists’ 
Union, died at his home in Needham, Mass., August 17, 1916, aged 71 years. 
He was born in Needham, February 2, 1845, where his family had resided 
since the beginning of the nineteenth century. While engaged in business 
he found time to serve his town in several important capacities. Mr. 
Fuller’s great interest however, was in nature and he spent much time in 
tramps, studying the birds and flowers of his vicinity as well as those of the 
White Mountains, a region with which he became thoroughly familiar. 
He was a true lover of nature and obtained from his studies an unusual 
knowledge of the ‘‘great outdoors” which he was ever ready to share with 
others.— W. S.
