used by the quail when feeding in a flock and also two others. One of these is the "Chulk---chulk" made by a cock quail when threatening another one and the other is the peculiar, confused medley of sounds made by quail only when actually being attacked--at this place it is usually a hawk or a cat. It is none of the sounds in Hoffman, page 87. Another peculiarity of this thrasher undersong is that it seldom mimics all of the song of any other bird--only fragments--and frequently imitates the sounds made by other birds in a flock. As an example of the former there is the meadowlark fragment and of the latter, a tree full of English sparrows. Fortunately this one is not loud. Another fortunate circumstance is that the imitations of the those harsher bird calls and "songs", such as that of the California Jay, Red-shafted Flicker, Western Kingbird and others are very much softened and sound as if coming from a distance even when the thrasher is so close that I can reach it with my hand. As to the thrasher's own contribution to the medley which makes up the undersong, it must be admitted that some of them, considered apart from the whole, can not be ranked with the highest in bird music. Brownie at present is singing a large part of the time, when near me at least; and the frequency and length of her performances is one of the reasons why I am not so sure that "she" is not the male, Greenie being relatively silent. Greenie, however, on the present occasion when Brownie retired into the bushes to continue her practice, jumped up to a limb about ten feet away and sang loudly for a few seconds. About 11 o'clock when I was in the glade with visitors and the old birds had just gone into the bushes again, Snooty joined us for a snack. They haven't got him yet. About 3:30 the parents were in the glade and Snooty was at the oval lawn. This is his 30th. day from the nest and reference to notes on the first brood shows that the parents knocked feathers out of some of them on their 32nd. day (approx.) out of the nest and that
