placed. Thus they soon discovered the small dish of soft-food that I put inside of the glass house. 12:55. About 12:30 Julio brought a young lizard 3½ inches long which he had caught in the kitchen. It was lively, but did not try to escape. I put it on the rim of the nest while Greenie was there. She did not appear to see it until I touched its tail and caused it to move, whereupon she seized it instantly and was off like a flash. I could not see all that happened but both thrashers were in and out of the glade and out of sight somewhere and then Greenie was seen mounting to the nest with the lizard, minus its tail and not squirming. Before I could get up to the nest, G was seen trying to give it to one of the young birds. When I got there I could not find it by feeling around in the nest amongst the mixture of youngsters and Greenie's feet and legs. I saw all the necks and crops, but none of them were unduly distended. I waited, but G would do nothing about it, so I do not know what happened. At 1:30 there was no sign evident to me that any of the young birds had eaten the lizard. They all looked alike when B and I fed them. There is an Indian mortar here having inside dimensions about 8 inches by 15 inches by 6 inches deep. When this is nearly full of water it is just right for a thrasher bath-tub, and they have some fine baths in it. B has just finished one in which she repeatedly jumped into the middle of the tub with a "plunk" that could heard 75 feet. When last seen he was sitting on the edge of the nest trying to catch flies as they buzzed by. Both adults are full of pep today. (Temp. 70). There are two differences from the pattern noted in connection with former broods. The adults now frequently eat some of the worms I give them, both on and off the nest. I should think that this means the young are really getting plenty of food.
