“We were on a course where or- dinarily there would have been a docen vessels, but when we needed them most there was not a single craft sighted, One of the rescued men said today, Several of the crew who were lost from the Grace and Ruby when fog shut down over the banks on Saturday were forced to row for nearly thirty hours.

Th, twelve men picked up by the Grace and Ruby were Amos Nickle. Andrew Doucotte, Clayton Doucette. John Mulse, Bernard Coteau, Albert Saulnlor, John Saulnler, Andrew Hines, Edward Landry, Delmar Le- Blanc, James Porter, and Frank Fitzgerald.

Safe at Sandy Point were Curtis McGrsth and William Foote. James Louis Surrette, Harvey O'Neill and Bylvanus LeBlanc reached shore on . Oape Negro Island.

Popular names are 1n general mis- leading; different birds may. have the same name in different regions. Thus the Robin of England has no relationship to tho Robin here. and both differ from the Robin of India. Or the one bird may have many popular names: so it ls with the Dovekie which is known as the Sea Dove, '80s. Pigeon, Icebird. or Little Auk, according to\locality. To rem- edy this the American Ornithologi- cal Union assigned an official num~ ber and common name to each bird, and the "Bird Guides" follow this nomenclature. This ls very convon lent in looking up references. Some fifteen years ago the "Teacher's Magazine" published a list of Island Birds nunrbered and named accord- ing to the A. O. U. scheme, and by its irleans 1 nlarkecl every Island bird in my "Bird Guides" by an asterisk. For lilo benefit of readers and by permission of The Editor I propose to give in sucoee Notes the names and numbers only, of these birds, in the hops that those inter-
