jS All Day With The Birds 



period of ten days. The Ohio and Illinois reports clearly in- 

 dicate an exceptional abundance of birds, both in individuals 

 and in species, for practically the whole period. At Oberlin 

 the 2ist was marked by a general departure of warblers and 

 sparrows. But a discussion of the Northern Ohio migrations 

 may be found elsewhere. 



In the accompanying table, "A" indicates that the spe- 

 cies was abundant, "C" that it was common, "T C" tolera- 

 bly common, "F" few in numbers. "X" indicates that the 

 species was recorded but the individuals not counted, and the 

 numbers give the numbers of individuals seen when a count 

 was made. 



Explanations of the work done in the several places rep- 

 resented are given here together, so that the tabular arrange- 

 ment may not be interfered with, and so that the reader may 

 see at a glance the distribution so far as the reports give it. 

 The Ohio reports are given precedence because they contain 

 the largest number of species,
