The Christmas Bird Census 29 It has not been possible to publish all the notes which have been received, and it has been necessary to omit the descriptive matter which, in some instances, was given. At another time we hope to suggest a bird census on somewhat more exact lines, through the enumeration, not of the birds observed on a given day, but of those occupying a certain area, when a description of the character of the ground, etc., will be of importance.
