Our annual meeting, on January 26, was held in cooperation with the 

 National Park Service. The lecturers were Dr. H. C. Bryant, on 'Nature 

 Guiding in a National Park,' and Dr. L. H. Miller, on 'Bird Music in the 

 Yosemite, ' — both were illustrated and listened to with much interest. Even

 Junior Classes from 13 to 176, and an increase of Junior Members, as reported 

 by the National Association, from 431 to 5,963. This does not include the

AUDUBON SOCIETY 



Junior membership at St. Petersburg, where the work is carried on by the local 

 Audubon Society, and which reports an additional Junior membership of 750. 

 Florida now has the largest Junior membership in the South and is exceeded in 

 this showing by only ten States in the Union, all of much greater wealth and 

 population. If our means had been sufficient to extend this school work over 

 a longer peiiod of the year, our showing would probably have been doubled, 

 as less than one-third of the state was covered during the campaign.
