Local naturalist W. Ele. Avorn rises in Cincinnati science circles
A fragmented Cincinnati article recounts W. Ele. Avorn a native of the city who fascinated the scientific community with botany geology and zoology. It notes his early work as a school assistant and his ascent in 1881 at the Cincinnati meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He meets professors Beard and Hoyt of the Smithsonian, and later travels to New York to join the Kane Arctic Exploring Expedition after obtaining a commission as a naturalist.
