Abstract
Part 11, Land Birds. 1 114.Colinus virginianus.BOB-WHITE.--TheQuail was at one time found along the north shore of Lake Ontario, certainly as far east as Port Hope (62 miles east of Toronto).Of this species the late Hon.G. W. Allen said, in 1853, "The Quail is still occasionally heard uttering its plaintive cry in autumn and winter, about our woods and fields.In former days large coveys used to remain in the stubble fields and about our barnyards, from October to March." • I doubt if any Quail of pure blood are left east of Lake Erie; those I have examined recently from Oakville (19 miles east of Toronto), are the descendents of imported birds and differ from the indigenous species.115.Bonasa umbellus togata.CA•ADIA• RUFFED GRovsE.--Resident;formerly abundant, now not common; nest May 23, 1893.I have put our bird under this somewhat unsatisfactory form; the bird occurring north at least to Lake Nipissing is the same.116.Lagopus lagopus.WILLOW PTARMIGXN.--Aspecimen taken May 15, 1897, about four miles from Whitby (29 miles east of Toronto), is in the collection of Mr. J. H. Ames; 3 there is no question about the locality being authentic.An unusually southern migration of Willow Ptarmigan took place in the winter of 1896-97, and I recorded them as far south as Lake Nipissing?Dr. Wm. Brodie remembers a specimen that was taken many years ago in the township of Whirchurch.Ptarmigan are referred to as frequent migrants into the townships back of Darlington (about 40 miles east of Torento).3 117.Ectopistes migratorins.P•SSE•GER PIGEON.--Once a regular summer resident, breeding in the country between Toronto and Lake Simcoe.The disappearance of the great flocks dates back at least forty years, and by 1880 the bird was rare here; the records for 1890 are May 12, adult male; September 20 and October 11, young females; earliest record, April 13, 1891, male; birds were seen on May 16 and July 6, 1900.6 These are the last and are reliable; there is no question that the Wild Pigeon is extinct in a wild state in America to-day.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
