heard. Both came to me at once and I gave them both worms, neither seeming to resent the other's presence. Brownie repeated used a phrase which contained the syllables pee-low (o as in cow, the last syllable deep toned and throaty). This was sometimes followed by a very soft quit. Greenie countered each time with an indistinguish- able assortment of rippling sounds. He then picked up a soap-root fiber which Brownie demanded and got. Both then collected a billful and made for the first nest site. I could not see whether they car- ried it up into the tree or not. I do not think that this means another nest; but there is plenty of time to find out. Usually, since the nesting season has ended, when they have picked up material in this way, the bird acts just as if it were going to do something worth while, but one can see its resolution fade out and the bird seems to be momentarily uncertain as to its next move when the material has been dropped. No further observations were made until about 5:40 at which time dropped down from a tree behind me in the glade, took only 2 or 3 worms and immediately went toward the roosting tree. When I got there she was sitting quietly on the regular perch. As I watched her she closed her eyes. This is unusually early. While all of the tree and its surroundings were in shade cast by trees further to the west, it was bright and warm. Sept. 15th. At 6:45 A.M. thrashers were singing in the direction of the glade.

Neither paid any attention to me. I could not identify them. When I returned here about 8 Greenie was at the oval lawn. Brownie not seen. At 9 Greenie came to me at the glade and sang a very good-under
