The Christmas Bird Census 29 



It has not been possible to publish all the notes which have been 

 received, and it has been necessary to omit the descriptive matter which, 

 in some instances, was given. At another time we hope to suggest a 

 bird census on somewhat more exact lines, through the enumeration, not 

 of the birds observed on a given day, but of those occupying a certain 

 area, when a description of the character of the ground, etc., will be of 

 importance.
