Fifty-First Supplement to the American Ornithologists' Union<i>Check-List of North American Birds</i>
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This notice corrects the following errors from the 51st Supplement to the Check-list of North American Birds (Auk 127:726–744): In the supplement, the North American species Melanitta americana was separated from the species Melanitta nigra. On pp. 727 and 731, the supplement erroneously stated that the English name of M. americana should become American Scoter. Instead the English name Black Scoter stays with M. americana, and the English name of M. nigra, now restricted to Eurasia, becomes Common Scoter. On p. 727 of the supplement, replace Melanitta americana American Scoter with Melanitta americana Black Scoter. In the species account for Melanitta americana on p. 731, replace American Scoter with Black Scoter, and in the Notes to the species account on p. 731, replace Black Scoter with Common Scoter. In the supplement, the sequence of species in the genus Cyanolyca was rearranged. The correct sequence was provided on p. 728, whereas the sequence listed on p. 734 was incorrect. On p. 734 of the supplement, change the sequence of species of Cyanolyca to the following: Cyanolyca mirabilis Cyanolyca nana Cyanolyca pumilo Cyanolyca argentigula Cyanolyca cucullata In the supplement, the sequence of species already included in the genus Melozone was rearranged. This change was correctly noted on p. 737 of the supplement, but the change was not included in the listing of rearrangements on p. 729. On p. 729 of the supplement, preceding “Move Amphispiza quinquestriata to precede Amphispiza bilineata”, insert the following: Rearrange the species in Melozone, including those moved here from the genus Pipilo, to: Melozone leucotis Melozone biarcuata Melozone kieneri Melozone fusca Melozone albicollis Melozone crissalis Melozone aberti

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
