Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Birds of Eastern North America, Known to Occur East of the Nineteenth Meridian: Key to the Families and Species All measurements of birds are given in inches and fractions of an inch. The diagrams on page 8 will illustrate how a bird should be measured, and the chart (pages viii and ix) will be useful to the young student of ornithology who may not be familiar with the technical terms used in describing birds. Such terms as primaries and axillars should be learned at once. It is customary to indicate the sexes by the signs of Mars and Venus; the male, of course, being given that of Mars, 3, and the female, Venus, 9.
