Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

early winter.This summer three Murres were observed early in July.One was captured alive by Chas.M. Clarke on July St but died in a few days, and the others were found dead by Mr. Edwin Beaupre, Jr., and a friend, about a week after this date.All three birds died of starvation, without doubt.The Knot (Trz'n•a camtltts), reported as very rare in Ontario, visits Kingston from time to time, and on June 2, x897, Mr. Ed•vin Beaupie and I saxv several on A.mherst Island, one of which was secured.The one shot by Mr. Beaupie was with a large flock of Golden Plovers.Mcll•vraith in his excellent work, 'Birds of Ontario,' reports the Bar-tramJan Sandpiper (tl?artramt'ct lonffzkaurlct) as seldom seen in Ontario.This bird has of late years taken possession of Simcoe Island, Wolfe Island, A.mherst Island and many of the fields between Lansdoxvne and Napanee, a distance of fifty miles, and is found breeding freely.It is not disturbed by the farmers and appears to be.steadily increasing in numbers.The Black Tern (JYyclrocheliclon ultra surlnamensls), not reported in the east of Ontario, breeds at Kingston and Lansdowne.The Rev. C. J. Young has taken eggs at Lansdowne, and this year I found several pairs breeding in Cataraqui Marsh.Have observed the bird regularly for manyyears.The White-rumped Shrike reported as rare by Mollwraith in the east of Ontario, is abundant about Kingston, probably owing to the fact that several varieties of thorns are common here.--C.K.

Not 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.
