6. Streptopelia risoria. August 18, 1908. This evening I found No.22 dead on the ground near the water pan. It appears to me that it died of apoplexy (?) from over-fatness. Sept. 19, 1908. A pair of this species are is building a nest in the small box on the wood shed. They are Nos. 30 and 31. It is amusing to see one of a pair of young birds, which left the nest about three weeks ago, go through the motions of bowing and cooing just as the old birds do. However, I could hear no sound. Sept. Oct. 21, 1908. Nos. 30 and 31 hatched their eggs in due time. A day or so later I found one dead in the nest, and the other death on the roof of the wood shed, apparently having struck to the feathers of an adult. December 10, 1911. Adults, One which I examined very closely at the aviary at Golden Gate Park to-day, showed new feathers just appearing in the sides of the head. I noted an occasional brown feather among the wing coverts.
