species found on Il selected area of
forty TO eighty acres, and the count
actually consists IN an enumeration of
the male birds found In the course of
4 few early morning recCnroissances.
From the figures thus obtained, the
Scientific American explains, estimates
are made Of the bird population liz the
various sections Of the country. This
