abundant — English Sparrow, 

 common- Orchard Oriole. 

 frequent — Blue-winged Warbler. 



occasional — Cape May Warbler, 

 rare — Prothonotary Warbler, 

 irregular — Evening Grosbeak. 



Other terms may be substituted and may be better 

 but to me these terms represent very nearly the cor- 

 rect proportional division, i. e., the same variation of 

 rarity is left unexpressed between the various ex- 

 pressed terms. 



As I have already said, but what I may be par- 

 doned for repeating because of its importance, stand- 

 ardization is the goal, but while standardizing we 

 should attempt to be etymologically correct. 



The Somerset Hills Bird Club is greatly indebted 

 to the National Association of Audubon Societies, 

 through the General Secretary, Mr, T. Gilbert Pear- 

 son, for the use of the colored plates of the Oriole 

 (cover), the Orchard Oriole and the Egret.
