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.
