Ptetka 1957 Calyptra anna Feb. 3 Queens Road, Berkeley, Caly, stiffly perched with tail pointing upward. I stood about 5 feet away from it in the shelter of a wall and shrub along the top by that wall, while the dive displays were concluded and the encircling display performed. After the last dive, the displaying $^{\circ}$ took up perches 15-20 feet away from the intruder and moved to these along a circular path, giving a songy set pattern as described for earlier examples of this display. Some variation occurred in the perches as the surrounding area offered an abundance of them. There were three to five perches per circumference. After the 4th circle, the $^{\circ}$ simply flew up and high, toward the eucalypts to the west. After about 10 seconds the intruder began to chirp, moved a short distance within the twiggy one and then took wing to the east. July 21 $^{\circ}$ ad. present in garden to S.E. of house, using twigs within canopy of camphor tree. Typically feeds on fuchsia blooms around that garden. Undergoing tail molt in last two
