(195) leaf mold with some much harder earth. Due to contrast in color the extent of the excavation was readily measured. The face of the cut was about 7 inches high and 21 inches long. This face was undercut in places, penetrating the harder earth 4 inches, making a little cave. The material excavated formed a semicircular bench, level on top (as this was the working platform) about 13 inches wide and 24 inches long and spread out into a half frustum of a cone. The base of this approximating a semicircle in outline, measured 27 inches by 58 inches. The time required (by guess) was about 10 minutes. A wren-tit examined the earth as it was being thrown out by the thrash About 4, as I had not for a certainty seen Green-eyes today, and only the young one that Brownie was feeding, I looked him up. I knew about where one of the young ones was, as I could hear him near the berry patch. Also I had not succeeded in locating the third bird since they all left the nest and had not heard him. I found the one that was calling up in a small oak and Greenie was about 40 feet away in a pyracantha near the fence. I tossed him some worms, which he took up into the pyracantha. He then took worms up to the one that was calling, so I investigated the pyracantha and found the third one. That accounted for the all for the first time. This last one I fed with soft food and he showed no fear. I then took him in my hand and he made quite a noise for a few seconds and struggled, but was and climbed up on to my shoulder. glad enough to eat more soft food. Greenie came to see what it was all about, but was not much worried, as he found time to scratch himself and straighten out a few feathers. I took this youngster down to the glade to see what Brownie would think about it. She came and looked at him from a distance of about 18 inches and was not at all worried. I then let him go, and he ran to her, but she drew back, opened her bill and made harsh noises at him. I wondered then if he had been definitely assigned to Greenie and if she would reject him; but when I held worms out to her she began to feed him at once. He then climbed up into a sage brush and all was peaceful.
