The Massachusetts Audubon Society's Bird-Lists 



ONE of the means employed by the Massachusetts Audubon Society 

 to interest its members in the practical side of bird study is an 

 invitation to make lists of the birds noted in the state during 

 the year, blanks being furnished for the purpose of properly recording 

 observations. The best ten lists received by the secretary for the Society for 

 the last year were made by the following members: Richard S. Eustis, 

 Cambridge, 145 species; Mrs. L. E. Bridge, West Medford, 125 species; 

 Elizabeth S. Hill. West Groton, 116 species; Lilian Cleveland, West 

 Medford, iii species; Isabel B. Holbrook, Milton or Rockland, 107 

 species; Abby W. Christensen, Brookline, 107 species; Louise Howe, 

 Brookline, 103 species; Bertha Langmaid, Boston, 99; James See Peters, 

 Jamaica Plain, 90; Mrs. W. H. Simonds, Bedford, 8g. The three first 

 mentioned lists are published herewith. 



Blanks for recording the species observed from July i, 1902, to July i, 

 1903, will be furnished to members of the Society by its secretary. Miss 

 Harriet E. Richards, Boston Society of Natural History.
