The Massachusetts Audubon Society's Bird-Lists 



INTEREST in the Massachusetts Audubon Society's plan of Usting the 

 species of birds seen by its members in the state during the year evidently 

 shows no decrease, and three of the lists for 1909 contain a greater number 

 of species than have heretofore been recorded by any member of the Society 

 during the course of a year, — if indeed they do not actually exceed in number 

 the annual State list of any other observers. 



The ten best lists received by the Secretary of the Society for the year end- 

 ing December 31, 1909, were made by the following members: Lidian E. 

 Bridge, 244 species; James L. Peters, 239 species; Barron Brainerd, 235 species; 

 Harold L. Barrett, 204 species; Anne W. Cobb, 202 species; Richard L. Creesy, 

 191 species; Anna K. Barry, 188 species; Joseph Kittredge, Jr., 188 species; 

 W. Charlesworth Levey, 166 species; Samuel Dowse Robbins, 131 species. 

 The two lists first mentioned are published herewith.
