Abstract
Macoun's 'Catalogue of Canadian Birds,' Part II.--The first part of this important work appeared in I9OO, and its general character and scope were so fully indicated in this journal (Vol.XVII, Oct., •9oo, pp.394, 395), that it remains now only to chronicle the appearance and extent of Part II, • which includes the Raptores, and the succeeding families of the A. O. U. Check-List to and including the Icterida•.As in Part I, we have a compendium of the previously published information regarding the range and breeding areas of the species known to occur in North America north of the United States, supplemented by a large amount of hitherto unpublished material gathered by the members of the Canadian Geological Survey, and contributions from a large number of trustworthy correspondents.The authority is given for each record, whether published or unpublished, thus explicitly designating the sources of the information here presented, In the ca*e of published records, the place of publication is often, but not always, explicitly stated.The 'Catalogue' also includes a list of the specimens in the Government Museum at Ottawa, with full data as to their place and date of capture, etc.It is announced that Part III, completing the work, is ready for the press, and that it will be published during the coming winter.It will include such information relating to species mentioned in Parts I and II as may have been received since their publication, as well as an index to the three parts, and a complete bibliography of the authorities consulted in the preparation of the work.The • Catalogue ' will thus be a work of great permanent value, and a most important contribution to our knowledge of the distribution of North American birds.--J.

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.
