wings less compactly folded, that is: more drooping and wider apart at the tips. Brown-eyes still has the misplaced wing feather which (Jan.10,1934. This helps as a means of identification at a distance.(is still true). B.E. looks me upAt 11 o'clock, while I was sitting on a box some distance from the thrashers' nest watching the wrens carrying lining material into the house furnished them a few days ago (both wrens working) Brown-eyes suddenly appeared looking for soft-food, then retired to a broom ten feet away and practiced her undersong. At 1:15 I was in another part of the garden watching the Plain Titmouse's revolutions about a deserted bird-house, when there was a flutter of wings nearby and Brown-eyes again appeared, looking bright and expectant--more grub and then off to the nest. (Day before yesterday while sitting across the road from the oval lawn trying to entice G.E. out of the bushes into the road, I felt a slight blow on my leg and , looking down, saw a lizard which had jumped down off of a coat lying on a rock beside me. It jumped down from my leg, ran out into the road, picked up the worm intended for G.E. and returned to the coat with the worm sticking out of its mouth like a cigar. It seemed to make no effort to swallow the worm, but the latter gradually disappeared down the lizard's throat. The lizard must have seen the worm at a distance of about 8 feet). Mr. Sampson and I sat in the glade for an hour watching B.E., who was very friendly and stayed near us most of the time digging and coming to eat from hand. We dug up various things for her. Angle worms she inspected but rejected. Termites to which her at- tention was directed by dropping a meal worm near them were eaten readily. Argentine ants were scraped aside with the bill, but the pupae were eaten when uncovered in the course of her own digging. D 12th. day of incubation. The first egg was laid on the 8th. I am reasonablycertain that it was in the forenoon. Incubation began with the first egg.
