Ohio.—We sustained a great loss during the past year in the death of ourPresident, John P. Cummins. For four years Mr. Cummins had dignifiedthe office of president, and under his leadership the work had progressed andthe membership increased fourfold. His was not the type of scientific mindthat dissects and demolishes, but the appreciative and enthusiastic type that. J. p. CUMMINSPresident, until his Death in 1913, of the Ohio Society (Sa4) State Audubon Reports 525 sees the beauty and feels the lesson that nature is teaching, and leads a man togo out as a missionary to spread this lesson broadcast. It would be treason tohis memory to permit that work to suffer for which he gave so much time andeffort. The Society has since held another election, at which Dr. Robert was chosen President. Owing to the death of Mr. Cummins, the Society abandoned the series oflectures in the libraries, which had been given so regularly, and in which had always played so prominent a part. Nevertheless, the Societyhas not been inactive. Dr. Eugene Swope, Field-Agent, in Ohio, of the NationalAssociation, gave fifty lectures last year in Cincinnati and vicinity, with anaverage attendance of 125 (and this was accomplished despite the fact that hespent the winter in Florida), has organized large Audubon Societies in Colum-bus and Cleveland
