Felicia americana 461 May 26 Univ. Calif. Campus, Alameda Co., Calif. celery leaves in the pen today. Put about an equal amount of lettuce leaves on a wire frame in the water and on the adjacent ground. They have been working on the Myriophyllum in the pond, on the cat-tails and on some gladiolus like plant. They all seem amiable, in fact 7/6 and 6/13 were nibbling each other for awhile in the corner. It ended when the latter started pulling on the tag of the former. Now after 25 minutes they found the lettuce, worked out it some, not interested so now they are wandering around elsewhere. They didn't get too interested in the lettuce in the water, apparently they were afraid of the new platform deal, but they were feeding on the lettuce on land. Mayar Lake Temescal, 450 ft., Alameda Co., Calif. 9:15 a.m. 8E♀ feeding alone at L2. The structure that was at L5 has been abandoned and is by now completely under water and nearly disintegrated. No evidence of fresh material. Both parents near T6.5, churning, especially the ♀, and growling. No more eggs hatched - I wonder what's wrong here - no sign of the 1 egg that hatched, it must have died by now. M♀ in usual area. M♂ lurking just N of rock, from where he can flee hurriedly. The SW pair seem to be keeping the SW area clear.
