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 year ending December 31, 1906, were made by the following members: 

 Lidian E. Bridge, West Medford, 184 species; James L. Peters, Jamaica 

 Plain, 164 species; Anna K. Barry, Dorchester, 138 species; Percival S. 

 Howe, Jr., West Newton, 138 species; Louise Howe, Brookline, 116 

 species; Henry H. Lowell, Newton Centre, 115 species; William T. Barker, 

 Jamaica Plain, iii species; Bertha Langmaid, Boston, 108 species; 

 Samuel Dowse Robbins, Belmont, 86 species; Georgianna M. Wheelock, 

 63 species. The two lists first mentioned are published herewith.
