130 THE BIRDS OF 



Common, correctly used, means no 

 more than Completely Common or, 

 simply, Common. 



Not Uncommon is equal to Common. 



Tolerably Common is usually used to 

 mean Fairly Common, but tolerably 

 is a very meaningless word in this 

 case, as the word means that which 

 can be endured. If, however, one 

 wishes to use it as meaning Fairly 

 Common, he can just as well use 

 the latter word, or, instead of these, 

 Frequent. 



FREQUENT. 



Often Seen is the same as Frequent. 



Usually Tolerably Common is the 

 same as Tolerably Common, which 

 is the same as Frequent. 



Fairly Plentiful is the same as Fairly 

 Common. 



Fairly Common is the same as Fre- 

 quent.
