Abstract
Reviews [Auk, Vol.93 was the origin of the name.Simpson points out, in contrast to the general belief, that the name penguin was first applied to the Great Auk, citing a letter written by Parkhurst dated 13 November 1578 on a voyage to Newfoundland.In an account of Thomas Candish's voyage around the world in 1586-88, Francis Petty, without explanation, starts to call the "goose-like foule" of the southern oceans "pengwins" which was quickly adopted in English and spread to other European languages.Thus, the original use of Pinguinus as the generic name for the Great Auk, and the title of Anatole France's book "Ile au Pingouins" are not misnomers.Simpsoh's "Penguins" is recommended to all ornithologists, but especially to amateurs as an excellent introduction to the biology of a fascinating group of birds.--WALTEt•J. Bocx.The tltmice of the British Isles.--John A. G. Barnes.1975.North Pomfret, Vermont, David & Charles Inc. 212 pp., 12 pls.Cloth.$13.95.--This well-presented survey of the titmice family as represented in the British Isles will be of interest to no one but a specialist in titmice or a resident of the British Isles.I was interested in the references because they so thoroughly ignored the world population of titmice.In the chapter entitled "Individuality and intelligence" I was amazed to find no reference whatsoever to the trained titmice of the Orient.--EL•zABET•S. A•rSTn•.NOTES AND NEWS Timely creaks from the editor's uneasy chair.--Withnext January's issue (Vol.94, No. I), and with the Council's full approval, I am giving the venerable Auk a face-lifting that is more or less imposed on us by economic necessity.The new trim size will be 67• X 10", and the new type bed will be 30 X 48 picas, with 2 more picas for running heads.This will give us about 600 words to the page instead of 500 as previously and will cut down on the number of pages needed for the same amount of material.Best of all, the change should save us at least $1000 per volume in printing costs and considerably more in postage as each number will weigh less.The cover will be on the same yellow paper, with the Fuertes Auk slightly enlarged photographically.Type faces and sizes will remain the same, as will running heads and subheads.The only change in format will be running an introductory abstract in 8-point instead of the fermer final summary in 10-point.As before, each paper received will normally be submitted for evaluation to at least two reviewers competent in its particular discipline and will be assigned a priority date when judged acceptable by the reviewers and the Editor.Articles are usually published in sequence by date of acceptance with occasional exceptions for timeliness or expedience.Articles are published without charge up to 12 printed pages, above which authors are assessed at current costs•presently $60 per page.At present we expect to be able to finance publishing about 750 pages annually in the new format.With our growing backlog the time lag from acceptance to appearance in Auk is now running 16-20 months.Authors willing to pay full page costs will have their articles published in the next issue following the article's routine editorial processing.Such pages are added to our 750-page quota and do not delay the appearance of unsubsidized papers.Vol.94 will be my tenth Auk and my swan song as your Editor.I have enough material edited and ready for the printer for January, April, and July 1977, and more

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; the direct Gemma label and the distilled Codex classifier agree on what is shown here.
