Table of Occurrence.
In this table the birds are arranged according to the order of their
comparative frequency or rarity, based upon personal observations in
_Lincoln Park_. The abundance of the birds--that is, the number of
individual birds of different species--is in no wise shown, but simply
the relative representation of each species. For instance, out of a total
of 454 mornings, covering observations during six years, the _Robin_ was
seen on 383 different mornings.
The record for 1902, during the absence of the authors, is that of Mr. H.
V. Bozell.
