The Cowsills, new vocal and instrumental group whose recording of "The Rain, the Park and Other Things" is climbing the best-seller chart, have been signed to an exclusive two-year television contract for 10 performances on "The Ed Sullivan Show." Four appearances will be this season.

The Cowsills consist of Barbara and Bud Cowsill (he's a retired United States Navy petty officer) and their seven children. Barbara, the mother, Bill, 19, Bob, 18, Barry, 11, John, 10, and Susan, 8, are the performers; Bud, the father, Dick, 18 (Bob's twin), and Paul, 16, work behind the scenes.

The family lives in a 22-room house in Newport, R.I.
