I kept her there as before until Mr. Samp- son could get his outfit set up and adjusted about 15 feet away, by estimate, and I then gave her both worms and soft food from my hand while Mr. Sampson took took about 23 feet wards of film. After we measured the distance and found it about 17 feet. In the haste to get everything coordinated and syn- chronized it was not possible to measure the distance in ad- vance. Brown-eyes' performance was a fair one, although she was not entirely at ease, so retreated a number of times and spent almost no time loafing and digging in my vicinity.
