Abstract
The Barn Owl (Tyro pratincola) in Michig•n.--Myfirst observation of this species was about six miles east of Vicksburg, Michigan, on June 6, 1925, when two were seen about dusk.I was at this place every day until June 27, and saw one on thirteen different evenings, including the date when I first saw it.I was informed by a fax•ner that he had seen a pair of this species nearly every day about the barn and believed that they were nesting somewhere abou• the farm buildings, but I have not yet found out for sure if they did.So far as I could determine, no harm was done to poultry by the Owls.---OscARMcKim, r,¾ BRYENS, 1312 Third St., St.Joseph County, Michigan.Short-cared Owl Breeding in Illinois.---OnMay 10, 1925, in company with several members of the Chicago Ornithological Society I found a nest and six eggs of the Short-eared Owl (Asio flammeus) in the swamp at ' Beach, Lake Co., Illinois.Returning on the 16th, two young were found to be hatched and the remaining eggs on the point of hatching.As available publications show but one record of this species breeding in Illinois (Kennicott, Cat.Animals Observed in Cook Co., Ill.; Trans.Ill.State Agr.Soc., I, 1885), this may be the second.--PmRcEBRC•r•KORB, Evaz•ston, Illinois.The Name of the East African White-browed Coucal.--In'Novitates Zoologicae,' xxix, 1922, p. 50, Dr. van Someten separated the East African Centropus superciliosus from the typical birds of Southern Arabia under the name Centropus superciliosus intermedius.Mr. Bangs has called my attention to the fact that the name intermedius was used by Hume in 1873 (Stray Feathem, i, p. 454) for a Coucal which he called at the time Centrococcyx intermedius.This was later shown to be a race of Centropus sinensis,--the Centropus sinensis intermedius (Hmne) of Tenasseri•n, Siam, and Burma.Consequently the name intermedius cannot be used for any other Centropus and van Someren's name is therefore preoccupied.In its place I propose the name Centropus superciliosus furyus nora.nOV.•/-I•R-BERTFRIEDMANN, Museum Comp.Zool., Cambridge, Mass.Arkansas Flycatcher Nesting at Melville, Sask.--In 1921 a pair of Arkansas Kingbirds made their nest on a telephone pole in the lane behind my house.I had never seen any of these birds in this part of Saskatchewan and I mentioned the matter to Mr. Mitchell, provincial naturalist, and he stated that he had not heard of any quite so far north although he had a record of them a very little farther south in another part of the province.These birds nested in the same place for four years, but in 1925 failed to appear.Ever since they arrived in 1921 I have kept a sharp lookout for Arkansas Kingbirds in this district and I have never been able to locate another pair in spite of the fact that I do considerable driving 370 General Notes.

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.
