Zenaidura carolinensis. (Mourning Dove.) Feb. 15, 1908. Bought two of A. C. Robison and Leo. These I placed in a small summer house. Said to be male and female respectively. Cost $2.50. No. 20821 Mar. 1, 1908. The hen, which was minus a tail when bought, now has one about an inch long. The growth is very fast, a change being seen every day. Mar. 4, 1908. The cock bird often flies down to the floor of the summer house, where they are con- fined, and runs about for a minute or so and then flies back to the perch. During the past three or four days an occasional short staccato "kuk" has been heard, ap- parently from the male, which I take to be the larger of the two birds. Food: Equal proportions of wheat, dried bread crumbs, yellow cornmeal, and mixed bird seed mixed together. I gave them no fresh water this morning, although I usually do so. March 13, 1908.
