Abstract
be called Anas rubripes but if there be two then the Red-legged form is Anas rubripes rubripes and the dusky-legged form A. rubripes tristis.The systematic treatment of the species constitutes Part I. Part ii of the report comprises histories of the species which are extinct ox exti•?ated in Massachusetts; the Great Auk, Labrador Duck, Eskimo Curlcw• Passenger Pigeon, Trumpeter Swan, Whooping Crane, Sandhill Crane, and Wild Turkey.Part III is an admirable discussion of the conservation of Game Birds in which every element receives careful consideration.The problem is a serious one and one that must be considered promptly and exhaustively in every state in the Union, if we are to save many of our birds from the fate wtfich has overtaken those mentioned above.Mr. Forbush suggests seventeen steps, M1 or most of which must be taken if we expect to increase the supply of game birds.'These include the following: establishment of (1) bird reservations, (2) systems of federal control of migrating birds, and (3) systems of town wardens in addition to state wardens; protfihiting of (1) sale and export of game, (2) sale and use of ultra-destructive firearms, (3) shooting from boats; registration of native hunters and raising of fees for Mien hunters, so as to be practically prohibitive; limiting of each day's bag; reducing the number of stray dogs and cats; checking forest fires; making the open seasons as nearly uniform as possible; encouraging the propagation and sale of such game as can be raised on game farms; and more important than all the establishment of a better attitude among the public at large toward the game laws.If the laws are wilfully disregarded as is frequently the case at present all hope for improved conditions might as well be abandoned.In this very field, more perhaps than in any other, Mr. Forbush's work will do an enormous good.--W.S.

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.
