(364) About 8 A.M. both adults were on the oval lawn. One retired to the shrubbery and the other somewhere to the east, but still on the property. The one still at the lawn soon called :"Tor-teéka, tor-teéka, tor-teéka, quit!" The other answered :" Scrip, Scrip-it, scrip.... " 10:00 A.M. There can be little doubt of Brownie's now being a lighter shade than formerly. It as if some of the brown had disappeared and been replaced by a light, ashy gray, for the general appearance is certainly grayer and lighter, both at a distance of, say, 8 or 10 feet and when sitting on my hand at reading distance for ordinary print. I would have expected, if I had thought of it, the reverse to be the case. Without forcibly restraining these birds, which I have never done and stretching out their wings to examine them in detail, it is im- possible to determine accurately the method and progress of their moult. But the birds frequently, when in my company, stretch out their in the flight feathers wings and the gaps are few. I would say not more than one at a time per wing. Also I note but few new flight feathers, possibly one or two at a time per wing, but this I have not checked carefully. When I was giving Brownie worms at this time, the female spotted towhee was constantly getting worms from me also. This Brownie commented on frequently, but she did not drive the other bird away. Once or twice she left me and ran for the worm in competition r with the other and when the other got it, as frequently occured, and ran off with it promptly, Brownie watched it go with a comical air of resignation, not failing to make some remark about the matter. She would come back to me still talking and from this drifted off into a long undersong full of imitations and unexpected turns. As to the volume of sound I would say that it would be quite satisfactorily loud enough from a caged bird in-doors. I did not know Greenie was at the time around, until doubtless inspired by Brownie's performance, he struck up in similar style somewhere directly behind me where I could not see
