Abstract
Dionne's Birds of the Province of (•uebecJ--In 1883, Profcssor Dionne published in French a volume on-the Birds of Canada, having, however, special reference to those of the Province of Quebec.It was, and remained till now, the only systematic work in French treating of the birds of this region.As it has long been out of print, the author has wisely decided to bring out a new work restricted to the birds of this Province, in the form of a popular handbook, with a view to promoting a better general knowledge of the birds of this ornithologically neglected Province.As the author says, little has as yet been done towards making known the local distribution of the birds of this Province, which remains still to a large extent an unexplored field.Following an introduction of ten pages, the species are taken up in systematic sequence, following the order and the nomenclature of the A. O. U. Check-List, even to the revisions of its latest supplements.Diagnoses are given of the genera and the higher groups, with keys to the latter and descriptions of the external characters of the species and subspecies, followed by biographies, sometimes extending to several pages.The plates furnish half-tone figures of about fifty species (mostly from wellknown sources) and there are a number of text cuts.All in all, the ' Birds of the Province of Quebec' is well adapted to meet the great need for a popular handbook, in the French language, of the birds of eastern Canada.--J. A. A. Clark's Birds of Amherst, Massachusetts? •-Thc first cditio• of this little work was published in 1887, and was reviewed in this journal, Volume V, 1888, pp.105, 106.The number of species then recorded was 179, to which 7 are now added, making 186.The first edition having been long out of print, the present one has been prepared to meet the continued demand for copies.It differs from the former edition in ha•;ing the species follow each other in a single series, instead of being arranged in three series, in accordance with whether they are of regular, irregular, or of extremely rare occurrence.The 'artificial key' has been rearranged, and a 'field key' added; as already noted seven species are added, and some additions are made to the field notes relating to other species, particularly with • Les [ Oiseaux I de la I Province de Quebec [ par I C.-E.

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.
